NO Shit...I do not lie! Soda? Write them a letter about your dilemma and I am almost certain that you will get coupons out the wazzoo for "Bush" products!

I've written to Perdue about stones in their chickens (I found a stone...and I know for a fact that chickens munch them, and I told them that they should check quality control better). I've written to Mrs. Smith...who happens to be owned by Campbell's Soup...and got about $35.00 in coupons for any/all of their products... of which they have many subsidiary companies!

But, I will say this...

This could be a practice that anyone can embellish and/or overuse. When I make a claim...I send proof of my cause. I sent the stone (uncleaned, so they could test it if necessary) to Campbell's Soup. When I wrote to Mrs. Smith, I sent them part of the apple core. OK...OK...these are things I could have spit out and disregarded...but I was entertaining at home and I had to make a point. I am expected perfection in my job...they should be too. I've never made a claim I couldn't back up! I left it to the complaint department to decide if I should be compensated. At times...all I got was a letter of regret and an appreciation to try their product again.

Just a thought!

Hail to the QUEEN BEAN!
