He didn't do ME a favor! He asked ME to bake the cookies for his
Christmas party. He wanted the cookies and they were HIS ingredients for
HIS cookies. Since he likes the cookies that I bake, I told him what to
buy. He got the wrong chocolate chips, so he didn't get exactly the same
cookie that he likes. The whole point is that we had two bags of
chocolate chips left over and I don't like big ****ing chips in my
cookies, nor do I want to stand there with a knife and chop them into
little pieces, but I would like some milk chocolate candy with nuts in
them and if I can put those chocolate chips to use (since I don't want to
use them in cookies), that's great.

They're forever chocolate chips? That's pretty depressing. That means I
can't even melt them down to turn them into a chocolate bar. Oh, you're
wrong about that. Oh well, I'm not surprised.

I don't think grocery stores take back food items unless there's something
wrong with them, or unless maybe it's a canned item.
