It's no secret that Costco's acolytes are a vocal bunch. Certain items - such as the famous Costco food court hot dogs and the rotisserie chicken - are almost universally beloved,"

"Sliced deli meat is a great item to have around, but the quality of different sliced turkey brands is all over the map.

However, shoppers on Reddit recommend avoiding this Kirkland Signature deli meat for a variety of reasons; most prominently, the meat seems to have an unpleasant, slimy texture."
