I’m a Whiny Cow

I’ve just sent in a complaint email to the Mars company/customer care people, because every Malteser I’ve had so far from a bag I bought today has tasted like plastic. I just wanted some tasty, crispy chocolate, jeez. :(

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    You should also send the plastic tasting candy back to them, and then they’d send you … a kilo or two of plastic candy … as a replacement. :)

    Every bag of Maltesers has a “retarded” one in it.

    Seriously. Me and a friend considered setting up a website of pictures of all the ones we found. RetardedMaltesers.com

    @Mimi: They’re yummy. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltesers

    All the mainstream brands seem to be dropping in quality lately. Kitkats just aren’t the same anymore. T_T

    Yuck, plastic! My friend complained to a chocolate company, about how the chocolate tasted weird, and they sent her a free bag of chocolates. ;D

    Complaints about food = freebies! :D My cousin complained about a Cherry Ripe bar once, and got a whole box of assorted chocolates as a replacement…

    Go for chocolate buttons next time. They always deliver on the chocolately goodness.

    Chocolate that tastes like plastic? Oh yes, definitely complain! People cannot stock that on shelves. What will those of us pmsy women’s do who depend on fabulous tasting chocolate?
