Crispy Subject

Do you remember throughout much of the 1990s Walkers Crisps always seemed to have either an Instant Win promotion (bank notes inside the packs) or those free 'Tazo' things inside. They pretty much ran back-to-back - when one promotion ended another one began.

Yet they haven't done anything like that for quite a few years now, except the 'Win an iPod Mini' last year where you had to text in the code.

I remember the cash giveaway ones, where the top prize was £100,000.

I recently sent a letter calling them to honour their quality guarantee because the quality of the Sensations product did not adequatly reflect the quality suggested by the packaging. I also moaned about the presence of flavour enhancers in their premium products. What did I get back? A stock-ish looking letter with no refund and a pathetic list of products!

Upon further inspection it does state that the bag should be returned by post as well, probably only to inconvenience disillusioned Walkers customers.

Well if they gave a refund to every whingeing bastard who is complaining for the hell of it, they'd probably go out of business.

Wall's - Unilever Ice cream

But not Unilever Ice Cream for too much longer, since Unilever are selling off their frozen food business as it is no longer as profitable as it once was.

You really ARE thick, aren't you, Jaron.

If you're going to quote stuff, at least read it first, you moron.

"Unilever said it would be retaining its frozen foods business in Italy, and added that its ice cream business - which includes the Carte D'Or, Magnum and Walls brands - would not be affected as this remained a 'strategic priority'."
