No, but he IS a jumbo breaded shrimp...tiny shrimp and brain with lots of
surrounding breading. This explains a lot.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I'll judge your intelligence after I read your 100 pages.

He'd try to return the penis shrinking underwear.

I can see him telling the associate:

"It looked so full on the package"
