yeah i was asking about the old el paso voucher.

Damn im slack i have to write mine still, im thinking about writing to spc cos evertime i open my diced peaches the lid sticks to much, and makes me spill juice everywhere. I think that warrants a letter and Deserves at least $10.

Ohhh like those little tubs?? That happens to me ALL the fucking time. I like the purees and I end up having to dig my fingers under the lid to be able to tear it off and like you say, shit goes everywhere. I think that one is well worth a letter. [Thumbs up]

So here is my letter hopefully I get sent a voucher

quote:

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing in regard to your Diced Peaches Snack Pack in Syrup (four pack 500g). I generally enjoy them for my morning tea and I am always very satisfied. The pieces are always soft and tasty and have quickly become one of my favorite snacks.
There is however one aspect of the product that has been troubling me and that is the lid. It seems to me that the glue used to hold the plastic lid to the underlying container is a little too strong. Many times I have opened the lid and the force I need to use to pull off the lid causes the tub to spill its contents all over both my hands and the table I am sitting at.
I feel that it is my responsibility to raise this issue with you in the hopes that it could be corrected, resulting in an even more enjoyable snack.

Well i told bean this one a while ago, and so now i will post it

A guy at my work said that he complained to a cigarrete company because he wasnt happy with his pack of smokes, they then sent him 2 packs of smokes to make up for it.

An idea perhaps?

Haha, oh yeah, I never got around to posting that one. I think it's a great idea. Drinks and food will be well and truly covered, so why not nicotine??

A few weeks ago I purchased some Ski Devine Wild Strawberry Yoghurt.(For those of you who havent tried it, do yourself a favor and get some asap)..anyway it was a little bit runnier than usual and so I decided the good people at Dairy Farmers should be notified.

I filled out an online feedback form, cant remember the exact wording of what i wrote but they emailed me back within the hour...WOW!! asking for my address so they could send me an official letter.

I received a letter last week...heres an extract...

Thank you for contacting Dairy Farmers yada yada yada...Your thoughtful action in providing us with this feedback is indeed appreciated.

The manufacture of yoghurt is a biological process, relying on the growth of friendly bacteria. On the odd occasion there may be some slight variation in the consistency of the yoghurt due to the natural development of these cultures.

Dairy Farmers does have stringent quality control measures in place to minimise any variation and therefore we are concerned to hear you have purchased a product that is not of optimum consistency.

Please find enclosed reimbursement to cover the cost of your purchase.

appologies etc etc

Good news is that they sent me a $10 Coles/Myer gift card, so I hearby pledge my gift card to the D36 fund.

Hahaha, hooray!! Store it somewhere safely until the big night.

And speaking of the big night, I had a dream last night that it was D36. Only, I was not prepared. Eeryone was there and partying, but I had TOTALLY forgotten about putting up signs - a pretty important part of D36 - and not only that, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY was drinking alcohol - nobody had supplied their own, because they were expecting it to bu supplied, but I had also overlooked that little fact. So there were no signs and no drinks. Booooo.

lately i've been less about the free stuff, and more about the bad publicity

i have been writing some damning restaurant reviews on dining guide websites

every bad experience lately is duly noted

one review was apparently so brutally harsh (harshly brutal?) that they only published my point scores, and not the review itself

ugh

BAD FOOD/SERVICE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

I got home from my holiday and was greeted with:

As Adam pointed out, it probably cost them more than $5 just to get th damn money order made out in the first place! But never mind, it will serve us well at D36.

I think it depends on how much it is for. But regardless... it still cost them money.

Notice the issue date of the money order... November 2007, they must have a pile of them just sitting there waiting for people like yourself to write in with letters, by the date on it they dont seem to get too many complaints about LCM's, I have them for my lunch everyday and I certainly have no probs with them, if anything they are too small!

Did we work out what LCM's stands for?

According to websites, its just a marketing name.. but it had to come from somewhere!

Hmm. I was going to say that they wouldn't have an entire department dedicated to LCM complaints.. it would be a general Kellog's one. But it doesn't even say Kellog's on the money order. Just "consumer services". Perhaps that it goes even higher than just Kellog's? In which case they must have splashed out on a LARGE amount of money orders at one point in time.

My other theory was that Kellog's has discovered the secrets of time travel, and can afford to dish out money orders willy nilly as they simply go back in time to collect them, therefore not costing them a cent.
