Exchanging "ew" for "ooooh!"

vicecreamsundae

Did you ever get some seriously disappointing food products and complain about them? you know, thumbnail in a bag of cheese and onion, a molar floating in a can of coke, that kinda thing.

and what did you get in return? [if anything].

i love these: http://www.retrotuckshopsweetsdirect.co.uk/images/double%20lolly%20fizz.jpg

but they're so hard to find, that when i did find them i'd buy about a dozen..or so[the woman in the shop assumed i was a primary teacher..and i let her].
one time, i was digging into the first one and it tasted WRONG, threw it out, tried another, also wrong. emailed them and they asked me to mail them back and it return i got a huuuge box of them. and those tasted so right.


only asking because i got some mouuuldddy mozzarella today, and the use by date wasnt until april 25th. ew. probably not worth complaing about but just got me wondering.

when i was growing up, someone always seemed to know some other kid who lied about getting a manky creme egg or something and being sent a huge crate of different sweets to compensate. hmmm.

any experiences? not restricted to food i guess.

You just had to ruin the thread by not mentioning mice. I hope you're proud of yourself.

:pac:

Had a Pringle with a tumour on it once, wrote them a letter.

Got €8 in vouchers back. Then a few weeks later got another letter from the head of Quality Control with €20 more in vouchers.

I ended up with something like 25 packets of Pringles.

Ruu_Old

Large lump of salt in a bag of Perri crisps, got a few boxes of Perri a couple of days later.

*clears throat* I presume by tumour you mean mouse, yes?

My friend found a snail in bottle of Fruice orange juice once, but I suspect it was really a mouse in disguise.

I found a burglar in my house and complained. A week later I was given 60 houses by Nama.

Kotek Besar

I found a rat in a bag of crisps once. So I sent it to Tayto and they sent me back a mouse.

You can't post something like that and not tell us! Also you forgot to say "mouse". Mouse.

pablomakaveli

I remember last year there was a lager running a competition (cant remember which one) and my buddy wrote in a letter saying he had drank loads and loads of cans and had won nothing and that his girlfriend had left him and he got fired from his job because fo all the drinking.

This was all complete bull**** of course but the company sent a letter saying they were sorry to hear what happened and also sent him two rugby jerseys.

He wrote a load of letters after this and even tried to apply for the Late Late show job when Pat Kenny left.:D

CrazyRabbit

When working in a pet store, I genuinely did find a few dead (and dried up) mice in a 8kg bag of bird seed.

Contacted the manufacturer who replied saying the birds wouldn't mind and it won't harm them!

Also, when my brother was born, he had this huge tumor on his right leg. We sent him back to the hospital with a complaint and we got a replacement brother a week later with no tumor. It's was really nice of them.

My 9yr old was reading this thread over my shoulder, he just said-
'say you found baby rats in an Easter egg':D

Canard

I found a maggot in a packet of ginger biscuits. Like, it was moving around. I lifted a biscuit and it was there, wriggling..but I didnt bother to report it. I really shouldve!

I've also had a creme egg that was more like a fluffy **** egg, but once again, didnt bother complaining since it was in the Gaeltacht and all the food there had been cheap crap.

alwaysadub

When my nephew was a baby,we found a stone in his jar of baby food.
Had a rep from the company call out to the house and we got loads of free baby food and vouchers.

We ordered a chinese take-away recently and in the bag that was supposed to contain chicken balls, there was actually 2 chicken's 'balls' :eek:

Most companies if you send them back the product, they will rectify the situation in some way. When I was a lot younger, I had a Kit-Kat that wasn't as it was meant to be (can't exactly remember what was wrong with it) and sent it to Nestlés customer grievances thing (on the the back of the chocolate bar) and got a £5 postal order

OutlawPete

I once found a wingnut in a bag of Manhatten Popcorn.

My mates wouldn't believe a word of it, massive argument that got quite heated actually

I was only 15 and didn't even think to complain.

Last year I bought a whore in Bangkok and complained after finding two testicles in the front of her pants. I was given six boxes of Walkers Salt and Vagina crisps.

My dad got a chunk of metal in a cadbury dairy milk one year. :eek: Luckily he savors his bars and doesn't bite in to them. Sent it back to them but never got anything off them. :mad: Not even a mouse.

My friend apparently found a stone in a bag of crisps. Even tried to team up with his Businees teacher in suing them, but that kinda fell to pieces when the teacher stopped believing him :P

Got a book from the library, when i got it home i opened it up and a found a mouse...... then flicked another page and found another mouse.

Send them a letter saying "I found 2 mouses in a book i got from your library"

They sent me back a dictionary!

DazMarz

Found a dead spider in a box of Rice Krispies before... I'm arachnophobic anyway (even if the fúcker is dead!!!) and so sent it back... Got a HUGE box of goodies from Kellogs and a nice apology letter. So I was happy enough.

Bonito

Swear. Not even a mouse who squeeks "sorry".

I bought a Cadbury's Creme Egg from the local newsagents one day. Fortunately, I broke it in half first instead of biting into it like I usually would. What did I find inside only a bunch of ants. And the worst part is, they were alive. Brought them back to the shop, my 'friend' was working there and showed her. Guess what? She wouldn't give me a refund, just to get something of the same value! :eek:
I was only 15 at the time, but I'm still raging I didn't sue either Cadburys or the shop. I'd be rolling in it.:D

General Zod

i got a new PC from dell and found a mouse in the box when it arrived, which was pretty sweet.
