My complaint to Cadbury's.

Just sent this to Cadbury's.

Hello,

I'd like to lodge a complaint about what I consider to be false advertising on your product, 'Mini Rolls.' While I love the chocolatey goodness and the creamy inner layer I was today shocked and horrified to discover that each individual Mini Roll has, on its packaging the term, 'Mini Rolls.' This pluralisation is unforgivable as there is the very real chance that I might expect to find more than one Mini Roll within each individual wrapper. I demand that in future you print each individual Mini Roll wrapper with the term 'Mini Roll' (without the s). This would please me greatly as I would know precisely what I was in for when opening the packet. In compensation I would like a ****ing **** truck load of Mini Rolls (plural).

Yours sincerely,

Michael "Anally Retentive" (Surname).

What are your thoughts on false advertising? It seems to be all around us in some form or another.

I sent an email to Cadbury recently, which started off "liquorice all sorts? Liquorice one sort more like." Then went on to complain about the mix of sweets. They send me £3 of vouchers, took them to the shop and bought a large box of Liquorice Allsorts and large box of Wine Gums. Both were bogof. So, ended up with £7 worth o sweets for the £1 I initially spent :p:

Send it!!!!!!!!

Great job, I would have done the same. Enjoy your rolls or whatever they are.

Is that chocolate? :tong:

I feel hungry now...

I find it funny that someone who is being so pedantic about pluralisation closes single quote marks after a full stop.

Quite disgraceful, in my honest opinion.

Check the packaging. There's a full stop on there.
