Cherry Picking
As reported by a mouse onwank_report, a small but entertaining wank about . . . ice cream.
Manufacturers of delicious frozen cow rape, Ben and Jerry's has recently gotten on the bad side of legomyelfboy. It turns out that that tub of Cherry Garcia may not be so "cherry" after all.
For any of those who eat/buy Ben and Jerry's ice cream, or those who are considering doing so in the future. Do not buy the flavour "Cherry Garcia" with the expiration dates 10/31/06 or 11/01/06. After many written complaints about the ice cream being vanilla, there being no cherries, only chocolate, they've decided to confess, via either human error or machine problems that there was uneven distribution (sometimes resulting in NONE whatsoever) in those batches. What I find peculiar is that they recommended my mother and I not buy these expiration date batches and WAIT for it to cycle out of the stores. They are aware of the problem but they're not recalling those specific batches (although they stress that they strive for quality). I think it's bad service that they're playing on the chances that most people will buy it, eat it, and probably not complain about it (and probably just buy another flavour from then on). I thought I should inform all who might be interested.
The first few responses are of the "Thanks for letting us know" or "Rock on" variety. Things get a little wanky, but not terribly so:
The internet lawyers discuss contract law, re: breaches thereof.
And then, everyone plays Telephone.
The charmingly named uratwunt fails to comprehend the purpose of a community called "bad_service", and bitches legomyelfboy out for "acting like it's the end of the fucking world because their ice cream is missing an ingredient".
The most obvious troll in the world strikes again, this time over ice cream and depression.
It seems like it should stop there, right? . . . Well, no, apparently not.
"Here's a suggestion - LIVE WITH IT. It's fucking ice cream for god's sake, not cancer medication. Do you seriously need that flavour of ice cream so badly that you can't wait for another batch?"
And then customers_suck gets into the act. Because, well, it's customers_suck.
Clearly it's time for B&J to roll out a new, splooge-inspired flavor. Wanker Pecan, perhaps?
