Me want foooood!

I love to complain. Complaining makes me happy. And a happy Nicole is much better to drink with. One of my favorite things to do is complain to food companies. Because of my restrictions I'm forced to buy $6 bread, $8 mayonnaise, $7 pretzels and so on. It's depressing. And way too fucking expensive. So when said food stuffs is not up to par I tell the company. 1. Because I want them to know about and fix the problem. 2. Because they send me coupons for free food. I realize this is a hobby more suited for an old man whittling down his days in a retirement home wondering why his family doesn't call him anymore but I expect a certain level of awesome from my $4 waffles and $5 macaroni and cheese. Plus I have fun writing the complaints. I'm never mean, just kind of a beezy. It's a bit of an outlet for me and as long as I keep getting coupons I intend to keep writing. 


This most recent installment was e-mailed to the makers of So Delicious coconut milk whatevers.


"I love your regular yogurt (chocolate flavor = my life) and got really excited when I saw a Greek style at my New Seasons grocer in Portland. I only bought one just to make sure I like it (when I have to buy $2 yogurt I need to make sure it's worth it) and ate it today; it was pretty good but something was a bit off and I wasn't sure if it was because I hadn't had Greek style yogurt and don't know what it's supposed to taste like. It wasn't until I got to the bottom and found the culprit. Mold. Lots of mold. The date on my yogurt says 5/10/12 so I was a little surprised. Oh and also super grossed out cause that's nasty shit. Fortunately I had chocolate nearby to cleanse my wrecked palate. And now I'm full up on penicillin, thanks. I'm like Alexander Fleming no big deal. So I wanted to let you know this happened, I don't know if you've heard of any others but I still have the lid if you want a lot number or anything."


I'm pretty sure I can still feel it growing in my stomach. And while I might have a little trepidation about eating the yogurt again some coupons would really help ease my mind.
