Surprisingly, those emails to customer service do work wonders (with most companies).
A couple weeks ago, my laundry pile was four stories high and with my small apartment washing machine it was going to take me at least 10 loads to wash it, so I decided to go to a laundromat and use one of the huge machines and just be done with it in one step.
I usually buy regular Downy as a softener but I got a new one for the holidays with a new scent which (on the store) smelled terrific!. BUT, even though I poured a generous amount in the washing machine (and the clothes did come out smelling very well to the mentioned scent), when they came out of the dryer, they were absolutely odorless!. No soap scent, no downy scent, no scent at all!.
I wrote an email to Downy telling them the story and complaining about my results and the CSR told me that sometimes the high heat generated by those laundromat dryers neutralizes any scent. But in any case for my troubles, they sent me a coupon for another bottle for free. I received a coupon for a big-ass Downy bottle which I redeemed at Publix for $14. The juiciest coupon I have ever used!
I did test the Downy in my apt dryer, and it did work fine... so it was the laundromat dryer as the rep said. And I got a free bottle anyways.
Budwzr, please let us know the outcome of your email. Let's see what they have to say about it.1f U c4n r34d 7h1s, U r34lly n33d 2 g3t l41d!!! -
The result is they are sending me a refund, but I don't know how much, they didn't ask, so I'll update you on that later.
Their response was very professional and not a canned one. Here's the body of the e-mail:
================================================== ==================
Thank you for your purchase of Tyson Chicken Tenderloins. Please accept our sincere apologies. We are greatly concerned that a bone passed through our bone elimination processes. Let me assure you that bone removal is a top priority at Tyson Foods. We process over 42 million birds per week and statistics indicate that bones in boneless items are rare. We strive for 100% bone elimination; however, there is an inherent potential for bones in any foods processed from birds, animals, or fish.
Your comments will be reported to the Director of Quality Assurance. Please email the picture of the bone to me at your earliest convenience. I will also send a refund to the address provided in your email. Again, thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention.
================================================== ==================
I'm very satisfied by this response, and I'll continue to buy Tyson products -
Well, it was more or less the same result as in my case, you got a free bag of chicken!. Not a bad deal for a little bone in there

Yeah, I can't really make a big deal out of it. If it were a beak, now that might be a different story.

funny.. was there small print anywhere on the package about bones possibly making their way into the meat? I know its hard to imagine chicken bones being in chicken but still.. you never know :P lol...
on a serious note. I have a webber charcoal grill with a webber grill starter and somehow a piece of hot coal stayed in the starter after emptying it into the grill and I didnt notice it.I placed the starter on the wooden bench on my deck and went inside (around 9 PM)
Long story short I woke up in the middle of the night to a sound of something falling on my deck. I thought it was just an animal and dozed off but as I was laying there I noticed an orange glow out my window..... LOL guess what happened? Yes the deck was treated wood so it wasnt a big flame but it was still burning a little.
It burnt all the way through the bench onto the deck then the deck caught fire, the fire was right next to the grill, the fire was so hot that it melted the legs off the grill and thats why it fell.
the fire melted all the plastic and small aluminium parts off the grill and the grill starter. I called webber and told them what happened. they not only sent me a new grill and starter but paid my homeowners deductible.. I wasnt even complaining I only called to see if they would send me replacement parts to be able to use my grill. -
"a bone passed through our bone elimination processes" You really gotta love that statement.

Do you reaaly want to know what the 'bone elimination process' is?

Mine were chicken tenders, not the nugget-type, so no weird stuff.
This video presupposes that trimmings should be discarded, and that it's done because companies are greedy and want to increase profit, but I don't agree. I think it's wasteful to throw out anything.
What about hotdogs? What about sausage? Or chicken broth?
The salmon industry here in America used to throw away the roe, until they found out the Japanese wanted to buy it. -
That’s a big question to me; what hotdogs are made of. My cousin has this silly joke to me (whispering: it is made of worms)..gross isn’t it.
