Truly Strawberry shortbread

From 2011 October. On sale, 2 for 4 bucks, 350g a box. Good deal. Looked good, but tasted bad. First, the shortbread was stale. (No it's not expired.) Second, the cream was waxy and way too milky. Third, the blob of "strawberry jam" tasted like cough syrup and sticks to your teeth. Overall, it tasted cheap!!! Aaargh!!! I regret buying this! I hope the lemon one is better.
