Outrageous marketing behaviour

Today I was handed a free pack of "Mattessons Twisted Tails" (Hog Roast Flavour) on the street by a company representative.
This is so deeply offensive, they know I'm a vegetarian! Surely I must be able to claim some sort of compensation for having this thrust upon me against my will.
There's no excuse for this. There should be proper training regarding what can be handed out on the streets!
HOW DARE THEY?!

If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

That is a complete scam, and you should sue. It's the only language these curs understand.
What if a vegetarian child had been given one?Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

Scam isn't strong enough a word ... 'Malicious victimisation of society's most vulnerable' seems more appropriate!What makes you think they are a meat product?

I suspect they are using this to disguise the fact that it is meat. The pack says "100% Seasoned Pork" on the front, which as we all know is code for "100% Dead Animal".
The pack also says "Ready to eat" on the front, which is patently false advertising as it will never be ready for ME to eat. Another example of their LIES!That is a complete scam, and you should sue. It's the only language these curs understand.

I am a vegetarian child (at heart).If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0 -

:rotfl: The horror, the horror....
I was handed a copy of The Stylist this morning at the station - I was disgusted, my dishevelled and raggedy appearance should imply I clearly have no interest in style. I mean its a disgrace, what if non stylish child had been given it, who knows what vile clothing they might be inspired to wear.
Its an outrage, especially for me with disabled relatives.0 -

A disgrace! False advertising! I mean clearly you have to open it first to get at the 'meaty' treats within! Honestly, what if you'd been a dangerously thick individual, you might have eaten them, packet and all and then choked and DIED.0 -
*decides to go and look for them in the shops then, if they actually HAVE meat in them*
Hardly an invitation to treat though, is it?
I mean, Twisted Tails?
who came up with that one?
- methinks a bunny boiler might have invented the product name :rotfl:Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Oh no, end of the world. Did they make you eat them?0

I assume I'm obliged to since they handed them to me.
It sickens me that some anonymous company can have so much control over what I am forced to eat just by giving things to me for free. And all for the sake of their own profit!If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0 -
So I should sue a window salesman trying to sell me windows, after all I am deeply upset as Ive just had my house repossesed.
Why do you have to eat them, you have a choice.
How do they know you are vegitarian?0
