Crap In The Box

What good is a blog if you can't use it to bludgeon some soulless novelty food corporation for an (most likely) accidental defiance of their own code of standards?

But sweet jeebus - this thing looks like something out of an episode of CSI:

I've taken the rare step of actually calling the 800 number on their receipts, wading through their electronic swamp of a survey system (but hey, I might win $10,000! UH HUH!) and filling out an online form. I'm actually curious to see how a major foodcorp handles this kind of failing in their sales operations - is it as simple as a "sorry bout that, here's a couple of coupons", or is Jack keepin' my $6.34?
