New CPU arrived - but no haribo?

[q974739]

Dear all. My new CPU arrived today without haribo. When did this shocking lack of snacks begin? Is it a side effect of the pandemic, shrinkflation, the End of Days? Should I log a customer service call?? It seems wrong to return my new 5800x3D over this, but... !!!

Please advise!

Return it, must be a bad batch.

Can be hit or miss if they include Harbio or not. I seem to get one every other delivery.

More importantly you've posted this in the graphics card thread. The Haribo thread is further down.

Times are tough at OCUK...

minimum £1000 order for 10p bag of haribo, margins are tight

Staff at OCUK supplementing their calorie intake..?

shrinkflation

And am I the only one who is raging about the sly reduction in the sizes of everything, except the price?

I remember the days when a Yorkie Bar could feed a family for a week!

Ordered a 4090 got Starmix instead of Tangfastics. Returned card.

Edit: Didn't we use to have a dedicated 'no Haribo' thread somewhere?

Yep:

The Official OMG I DIDN'T Got Haribo Thread!

Rather random opposing thread to the one posted by 5UB earlier this evening. Has anyone else had this unfortunate event happen to them? One can only hope a metric lorry load is en route to mine in this oversight lol. You can only laugh with things like this, especially when you basically...

Damn it, there's so many incidents it's got it's own thread??!?

Don't tempt.

Actually, still need to work out what to do with the other 480ml of isopropyl I was left with after cleaning the hint sink. (Couldn't buy less than 500ml!)

Dissolve haribo in it, pour it into a mold of a CPU or something, evaporate off the alcohol and send it back as a somewhat toxic protest sweet??

Halloween, the Haribo are reserved for all the trick or treaters.

I got two packs with my 3080, but i did have to wait 6 weeks!

You didn’t need it, was just a waste of money. A tissue and a card would have got it your heat sink clean.

Maybe. On one hand, yes, that would have worked. On the other... it came up so much cleaner, faster than the last time I did this.

It was a couple of quid on a £350 CPU. Rather spend a few pounds more and be sure it's clean
