Fans were eager to respond this week when Reddit posted a photo of a new food court sandwich supposedly seen at a warehouse in South Bakersfield, Calif.

It was "creamy peanut butter" with strawberry jam on white toast. The photo's $2.99 price tag shocked many consumers.

Many buyers were furious that Costco was selling such a simple sandwich at that price, especially because many food court goods are incredibly inexpensive.

It's dreadful. Pizza, hot dog, and beverage cost $0.50 extra. "Whoever in corporate runs their food court division is really just throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks," another wrote.

A Bakersfield Costco employee on Reddit warned buyers that the article was false. Food court personnel at both Bakersfield Costco warehouses verified over the phone that none offers a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

The food court menu photo's poster admitted to photoshopping in the comments. The Redditor produced the photo "just for a little fun" in response to the roast beef sandwich discussion.

In February, Washington Costco consumers saw this roast beef sandwich. Like the false peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the $9.99 price tag infuriated them.

"$9.99 is way too expensive and roast beef is not that popular," a Reddit consumer commented.

Despite the uproar, Costco has introduced the sandwich in numerous warehouses, including Northeast Denver, Colo., and Buckeye, Ariz.
