Just thought I’d pop in and say hello, since I’ve been off for the weekend. We had a really full holiday and completely exhausted ourselves with bathing suit shopping, pool parties, barbecues, and the beach. Not too shabby! My brain and feet are a bit exhausted, but I just thought I’d share one of the weirder moments with you. What if you opened up your Frosted Flakes and saw this?
Would you scream or almost throw up? Or would you inspect it further to try and figure out what it is?
Or would you shut the box and wait until your husband came home to tell you that it is not a dead animal as you suspected, but merely a strange-looking rock? And then would you call the Frosted Flakes company and describe the incident, which they insisted was only a case of caramelized sugar?
Perhaps, even though they are sending you a coupon for a complimentary box, you would vow never to buy Frosted Flakes ever again? That’s what I would do (and did).
Stumble it!
eeew! I would do the very same thing you did. I once found a rat dropping(that’s me trying to be polite) in an apple cereal bar that I was getting ready to give to my two-year-old. It doesn’t matter what the company did to make it right, I can never eat them again. In fact, I can’t eat any brand of apple cereal bars to this day.
I just try not to think of all the other times I could have missed seeing something in my food and eaten it anyways. **shudder**
I KNOW! It makes you want to eat only stuff that you’ve made yourself!
THat is just gross and it looks just like a rock that came out of my driveway. I think they should do something beside send you a complimentary box. (I’m not sure what but something!)

That is crazy and so gross! I would’ve flipped. I just found your site and am enjoying it.

I know! I received the coupon today, and there was no letter enclosed or anything. Just the coupon. It does look like a rock, but when it was slightly buried, I really thought it had fur! Yuuuuuuck.
I definately would have had to pull it out, with tongs, and poked at it. From that first shot I was sure you were going to say it was a dried up mouse.

That is disgusting and all they give is a coupon for a free box. I once worked for an accountant whose wife found bugs in their matzo meal. He sent a letter on attorney letterhead and got $500. Something else.

LOL! I think I would have screamed as soon as I saw that in the box. Then fainted dead away…

That’s too bad. I’m surprised they didn’t give you more - like frosted flakes for a year, but it must happen frequently
