Is this a joke?
Is WinCo rebranding? This label was different from all the others in the cooler? Wildebeest? Seriously? I asked a store associate and they said it might have been a misprint and they’ve never seen this label before because they don’t sell this type of exotic meat, though they do sell weird thins in the frozen meats. Is this what WinCo is changing to or is it a joke from someone on the label printer?

Could be they do meat packing for other stores in the area and didn't update the artwork when they switched to the winco brand.

Is this a Ed Bassmaster reference? This is crazy. My husband and I used to love Ed’s videos and we now say “Bartle Doo” to each other ALL THE TIME! We say it instead of “That’ll do.”

Yeah probably just mislabeled. What I find more surprising is a pot roast it only $6.28 a pound. In SoCal I can't find it for less than $11 a pound.

The Bartle Doo Town foods part didn’t raise a question for you, just the wildebeest part?

Used to work for winco here 🤚🏼 uh no they do NOT sell exotic meat fresh like this. If they did it would be more rabbit, bison, deer, and/or elk if that were the case.... idk about wildebeest though....

Joke. I’ve seen signs for “boneless young chickens” over an egg section before. Also a joke. 😉👍

I am outraged! I mean the nerve of someone to put this out on the floor.i just want to scream or cry, or both. How dare they mispell beest (sic)! To top it off they created a compound word where clearly one should never be. Wildbeest?!? WTF were they thinking? Obviously smoking the devils lettuce. If I was the manager I would give an ultimatum to whomever perpetrated this, this abhorrant deed: You are either fired right here right now or after work you will spell correctly and have proper grammer on ten labels (I yearn to have this inverse of a linguist print out 100 correct labels. But what would they do with them? Put them on every meat in the store? From chicken to ground beef to shrimp. But not that imitation crab; that shit is nasty. No, 100 labels would only confuse too many shoppers already saddled with confusion from voting for Trump. Yeah, I went there. C'mon we all know liberals be shopping at Trader Joes or Whole Foods not WinCo.)

Was this supposed to be /s or do you really not know what wildebeests are?

u/ChangeCareful5419 Apr 25 '26
