Last week SHMBO went to the city, The following morning i had my usual
breakfast of special K ( trying to lose weight ). I was sitting there munching away when i felt something strange in my mouth. I hooked it out
and there was this almost round flat piece of something.It looked harmless and so i carried on eating.

Next morning i poured me special K into the bowl and i see lots of white pieces, oh oh thought I, this doesn't look good. I checked the bag and there was white bits every where. B***a this i thought i'll send it of to Kellogs.

So i wrote a very nice letter explaining the situation, put some of the offending white bits in a bag took photographs of it all and sent it off to Kellogs. Registered mail

I thought at the very least i'll score a carton of breakfast cereal.

A few days later i get a phone call from a very polite manager enquiring about the offending pieces.
First thing he says is ''have you still got the box''
Certainly says i, ( i mean your not going to chuck out the evidence are you ).
OK he says ''would you mind getting it''
Got it says i.
Well he said,"Those pieces look like almond pieces to me so have a look at the box in the bottom right hand corner''.

In the corner of the box it says HONEY and ALMOND.

:doh::B:((
Err err err cough cough goes i, ''I feel like a complete idiot'' i said to him ''i'm every so sorry for bothering you'' '' i dont know know what more to say''

Thats alright he says we all have those days now and again ''is there anything else i can help you with''.

And the complete idiot say '' no thanks'' and hangs up.

I am never going to live this down:no:

More power to you for sharing it with us, 'tis very healthy to be able to laugh at yerself. :)

BTW, Special K is too high in sugar to be useful for losing weight, is all just marketing hype. :shrug:

Many a time I've bought the wrong product when a new flavour comes out, and it's not clearly marked on the packaging. :((
