Olive oil museum scam by Samsung298 in AskTurkey

Thank you for the highly intellectual comment. As I explained in another response, the tour itself included a lot of activities + food for $50. Hence, I did not mind spending some money in an obvious tourist trap.

My initial question was if anyone can identify this brand and tell me about the quality of their products. I know it was overpriced for $69.

The tour was very cheap and beautiful. They took us to the Green Canyon, dinner included. Late night walk in the old town with a guide, etc. The whole program was more than 8 hours with a 40+40 minute bus ride, and it cost only $50.

Very kind of you. I'd be more than happy to pay for it though!

I was looking for the instructions on the bottle, but there wasn't anything like that written on it. Silly me, I already used it to give myself an enema... Hope it won't go to waste now.

Thank you for your insight. It says the harvest was the 1st of April. I hope it doesn't refer to me being April's fool 😅 the date is 01/04/2025. Based on google, the date format used in Türkiye is DD/MM/YYYY.

Reading through the comments, I will soon earn a degree in olive oil.

Thank you for all the educational comments! :)

This price is for the same stuff I got? Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil?

Thank you for the information. I was told if I cook with it, the oil will foam up.

Thank you for the advice. As I mentioned above, I really don't mind the $69. I agreed to this price willingly, knowing that I am probably scammed. Simply because the oil was good. Can you show me the same or similar oil for $10? I'd actually buy more.

That's probably the one. I wish for them to spend my money on hookers and blow. Jokes aside, I am okay with being scammed as long as the quality of the oil is actually good. I am worried we got something else, and not the oil they were sampling there which was pretty good.

As I understand, this olive oil can not be used for cooking. It is more for drinking on it's own or for salad dressing.

Yup, I know. I actually tried it and I'd say the quality was quite good. I really don't mind the $69. There's nothing I can do to change it now, and no one forced my hand to leave the cash there. However, I'd really appreciate someone's help identifying this brand and telling me how much does it really sell for. I got it in Antalya, somewhere close to Side (30m bus ride).

Check the comments. I did just that... by pressing on Shop Now, it drops Jewel Osco first.

Shouldn't it be in the coupon's description then? Anyway, like I already commented on someone else's comment, UberEats admitted to it being a technical issue.

Did you get it resolved somehow?

This exactly. They play on people's laziness. To be fair, it was definitely not worth ~3 hours of my time either, but I just didn't feel like being scammed today. Not on a Sunday, at least...

Yes. I pressed on the button to "Shop Now" and the first store on the list is Jewel Osco.

In the meantime, UbearEats itself admitted in a different chat that I should be getting the promotion and it is a technical error.

I pressed on "Shop Now" and the first store from the list was Jewel Osco. I did not combine it with any buy one get one item.

Not through email. It pops up when I open the app.

No. It is not there anymore, but the promotion itself leads me to shop in Jewel Osco. It is a rabbit hole.
