Recuperation journey: Beware of false advertising

Last week I used something I'd bought for a grab bag but ended up not needing: a ceramic container labeled chocolate chip cookie mix. 

It was a chilly afternoon and I felt like having something chocolate-y, so I opened it. 
To my dismay I found a sugar cookie mix inside. 
I baked the cookies and we consumed them anyway, but it was not what I'd expected. 
Big problem? No, of course not!

But I thought it exemplified the old saying, "let the buyer beware." 
And that advice could be timely, as many of us last-minute shoppers are in the midst of a December buying frenzy!
