The Chase fans raged as Bradley Walsh accepted an 'incorrect' answer from Jenny Ryan during the most recent instalment of the ITV show.
Monday's episode saw Nick, 65, Laura, 41, Aiden, 22, and Vivienne, 59, take on Jenny, 43, AKA The Vixen in a bid to win some cash.
Despite their best efforts, only Laura and Nick made it through to the final round with £3k.
But one answer that Jenny put forward to host Bradley certainly ruffled a few feathers to those watching at home.
Bradley asked: 'What colour indicates semi-skimmed milk on bottles?'
After pondering about her answer, Jenny said: 'Red and silver.'
Bradley replied: 'I'll accept.'
Many watching rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their anger - pointing out that it wasn't 'correct'.
'Semi skimmed milk tops are green #thechase.'
'Semi skimmed is green!'
'I thought semi skimmed was green?!#
However others pointed out there's a difference in colour coding between glass and plastic containers.
'On bottles it's red and silver stripes,' one wrote.
'Semi skimmed milk in glass bottles are red/silver striped. Poly containers it's green. #thechase.'
Last week, fans of The Chase were left fuming by a question they've 'heard a million times before' from Bradley Walsh.
Thursday's instalment of the popular quiz show saw contestants Wayne, Emma, Spencer and Gillian take on the Chaser Mark Labbett, known as The Beast, in an attempt to win a cash prize.
By the end, only pharmacist Emma and Wayne, who works as a local government officer, had made it to the final round and built up a £12,000 pot.
As they worked their way through their last set of questions, Bradley asked: 'The Grin Reaper is a work by which Bristol street artist?'
The correct answer was Banksy, however the mention of the artist set some fans into a rage because they felt he was frequently referenced on the show.
One penned: 'Daily Banksy question #TheChase.'
Another chimed in: 'Banksy, Banksy, stupid f*****g Banksy. #thechase.'
While someone else, according to the Express penned: 'Banksy klaxon! We've heard these Banksy questions a million times!'
Viewers have previously pointed out that the street artist has featured in questions before and commented: 'Banksy eh? Never heard him mentioned before. #thechase.';
'Has there ever been a final chase where Banksy hasn't been one of the answers? #thechase.';
'Banksy!!! Of course!! Hasn't been mentioned yet this week..... #thechase.';
'It seems like ages since we've had a Banksy question - but in fact it was probably only 4 days ago… #TheChase.'
'Oh a Banksy question that's a first #TheChase,' someone else said, followed by an eye-roll emoji.
In the end, Mark beat the contestants with 28 seconds remaining and they walked away empty handed.
It comes after The Chase fans were left 'screaming at the screen' as a contestant fumbled a 'ridiculously easy' question on a recent episode of the ITV game show.
The correct answer was Banksy , however the mention of the artist set some fans into a rage because they felt he was frequently referenced on the show

The repeat instalment, shown earlier this week, saw Justin from Manchester, Reanna from Liverpool, Nicola from Nottingham and Matthew from Leeds take on the game.
They were up against Shaun Wallace AKA The Dark Destroyer as they competed against the expert quizzer in a bid to take home the cash prize.
Justin was first up to the podium, supported by host Bradley - but he was soon caught out and eliminated before reaching the final round.
Reanna came next, building up a solid £4,000 during the cash builder quick-fire round - so things were looking good for the contestant.
But the final question she faced - since dubbed 'ridiculously easy' by fans - during the main Chase itself saw her taken out too.
Bradley asked her: 'In legend, how did the basilisk kill its prey?'
He was referring to a serpent-like monster from Greek and Roman mythology which can kill with a stare.
But it was made more famous after it was included in the second Harry Potter book, as the terrifying magical beast living in the titular Chamber of Secrets.

The options Reanna was given were 'stinging', 'shouting' and 'staring'.
Sadly, though, she missed the correct answer of 'staring' and found herself eliminated from the game.
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration at her missing what could have been an easy win in their eyes.
One said, the Express reports: 'She's clearly never watched Harry Potter.'
The Chase is available to watch on ITV1 on weeknights at 5pm and to stream on ITVX.
