Online shopping oddity

Whenever possible I mention specific instances of oddities involved in online shopping.

Yesterday, I ordered a few items via Big Basket. One item was bread as advertised in Big Basket App. When I got the item, cooked it and ate, it was not as delicious or as pure as claimed in the advertisement. I remember how Brittania Industries used to maintain quality standards even as recently as mid 1990s. But now for the past two decades, quality standards have drastically gone down in products manufactured by Brittania reminding me of the old adage that all that glitters is not gold.

I write this post and other similar posts to inform readers so that they can avoid wasting money by placing online orders for such items.
