Default Letter of Complaint

I've just sent a strongly worded letter of complaint to Kelloggs. My daughter was having Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast and found a huge chunk of the frosting that weighed over 3oz! In the letter I pointed out that I am now short more than one serving of actual cereal. I also mentioned that since the lump doesn't look like Jesus or the Virgin Mary it is of absolutely no use to me.

Might get a free box out of it.

We avoid Kelloggs cereal. We haven't found a single one that doesn't contain High Fructose Corn Syrup - we were looking because we had vouchers for free cereal.

The HFCS police! Better clean up before social services knocks at the door.

At least if they've been avoiding HFCS they'll be able to get their arses through it.

Can you get it over there? I've got a bottle I could send you. It's good on pancakes.

Just avoid it where we can, not all the time, but would rather not go near the stuff if we don't have to.

I'm just happy to get her to eat something before she goes to school, at least it has some fibre.

No...I said it looked like he'd put on weight.

Calling their 800# instead of writing a letter might have ensured a more instant gratification.

I love Mini Wheats, me. They'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre great! No, wait - wrong product.

At any rate, at least they don't have a raisin hidden inside. WTF were Kellogg's UK thinking of a few years back?? 'Splitz' my ar$e (which thankfully it is).

Yes, you will get several coupons for both free boxes and cents off.

I've written many of these letters over the years, always with a touch of humour, and have always been satisfied with the results from the manufacturers.
