Coles shopper’s epic coriander rant will put a smile on every hater’s face

‘If I wanted to eat grass I’d just mung on my lawn out the front.’ - by Amy Sinclair
  • 14 Nov 2019

It’s the most divisive herb in the country, which means you either love or hate coriander. 

But one Coles shopper took her hatred of the ‘green devil itself’ to a whole new level with a very humorous rant about the herb’s inclusion in a pre-made salad. 

Coles shopper’s epic coriander rant will put a smile on every hater’s face

Posting on the supermarket giant’s Facebook page, shopper Katie voiced her disgust at finding coriander in the Coles Pokeslaw Kit. 

She writes: ‘Feeling healthy I wandered on down to my local coles and picked myself up a packet of this yummy looking salad and a bbq chook. The quintessential Aussie go to for a quick easy lunch. 

‘But you ruined me. Like full next level ruined! Coriander! You serious?? Why?? A perfectly delicious looking salad ruined by the green devil itself. If I wanted to eat grass I’d just mung on my lawn out the front.

‘So my healthy lunch turned into a feast of chicken skin and a drumstick..... up your game coles. Coriander belongs in the bin not the salad bowl. #corianderisabigfatno’

Katie’s coriander rage struck a nerve with fellow haters of the herb, who voiced their support. 

Said one: ‘So glad I saw your comment! I was ready to buy this! Won't now! Yuck! I'll check out the other ingredients though and make it sans the devil's weed!

Added another: ‘Katie it’s all you can taste 🤮’

Said a third: ‘I love coriander...but I soo understand your feelings....It is like the garlic thing...you either love them or hate them...and if you cannot stand them..yes, spoils everything else...where for me...it adds to the enjoyment...It is a dodgy item to add to the this product.’

Coles were quick to respond to Katie’s complaint, write: ‘We're sorry to hear that you're not a fan of the coriander in our Pokeslaw. We pride ourselves on the quality of our Coles Brand products and encourage any of our customers who are not 100% satisfied to return the product, empty packaging or their receipt for a refund or replacement. Please be assured that we've shared your feedback with our Merch Team so they're aware.’
