LOL.. I think YOU don't get "it" or "anything" else. You bought garbage and expected it to taste good. Taking it back is like returning a McDonalds meal because it didn't taste like a real home-cooked burger. You got what you bought and paid for. >It has nothing to do with the number of shrimp. It >has everything to do with the size of the shrimp in each breaded >shrimp (i.e., the amount of shrimp compared to the amount of breading >and the size of the shrimp compared to the size of the breading). Did the word "jumbo" confuse you? Or didn't you understand the box was 9 oz.? Do you think a company is going to sell a box of 4-5 breaded shrimp to meet your definition of jumbo and be 9 oz? >Another way of putting it: Suppose you ordered a hot dog in a bun - a >hot dog bun of usual size- and when you got it you found that the hot >dog inside the bun was only about as large as you little finger. Comparing even the worst hotdog joint to the frozen crap you bought is insane. Hopefully you've learned your lesson and won't buy them again. But I have a suspicion you live on frozen fish sticks and frozen pizza. > Get the picture? Or do you need a 100 page dissertation. I'll need the 100 pages please. Start typing now. I'm leaving tomorrow for about 5 days and I'll look forward to reading it when I return. >The product was no good. 99% of the junk in the freezer case is no good. But most people who buy it realize that, and buy it because they can't cook for themselves, or use it as emergency food. I'll even have a frozen pizza once in awhile. But I don't return it because it doesn't taste like what I can make for myself or what's available at a quality pizza parlor. >Anyone with a minimum of intelligence would return the >product and get a refund. I'll judge your intelligence after I read your 100 pages. Lou |
