Being Angry. And Stupid...

Believe it or not, I can be quite intense sometimes. My style of debate has been described as aggrissive (I don't agree that but it's what I've been told) so when something annoys me I tend to get a little agitated...

This happened to me quite recently and I started to rant, then I realised how much of an idiot I was being and decided to have a little fun.

This was the result...

------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

You may find this correspondence somewhat amusing but let me stress, I am not happy.

At work today I found myself eating one of your fairly newly marketed toffee dodgers, I'm not a huge fan of biscuits but I am always happy to try something new. I wasn't massively impressed with the taste but thought it was certainly intriguing enough to try another and it was then I spotted that on the 'toffee dodger' there, in the top right section of the biscuit there is JD presumably for Jammy Dodger.

Now I know that you are a fairly large company manufacturing all manner of biscuit filled chocolates goods and completely understand that there is a need to produce as many as possible to ensure the maximum amount of profit and sales per packet sold. That being said, I do not think it is at all excusable that a company of your size should be so lazy as to not change the J to a T on a baking tray to produce actual toffee dodgers rather than corner cutting, almost replicas that you have created. I hope that in your very near future you are planning to adjust this as I'm sure I am not the only person who has noticed this abomination in biscuit creation.

Yours Sincerely,

Josh Bennett

I know how funny that is - I also know that will have gone right around that company twice because that's exactly what I'd have done and honestly that just makes me laugh even more. Usually I think it's sad to laugh at one's own jokes but I'm making my own exception. Oh yeah, and I did get a reply...

Dear Mr Bennett

Thank you for your recent email regarding the JD imprint on our Toffee Dodgers. We are sorry you were disappointed that it is a JD instead of a TD imprinted and we have taken this opportunity to pass your comments onto our production and product development teams for their information and review.

We hope this has not deterred you from enjoying the product in the future and we thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Kindest Regards

Lisa

I'm planning a comeback involving the chocolate ones...

See you next time
