I was OUTRAGED last night when I went to £land to get those sexy exploding glass valentine bear globes.

I was walking down the sweet aisle looking for some sweets and on the bottom shelf - within arms reach of children - not adults so how they expect me to purchase them I do not know - I picked up some sweets that were of luminous colours and could entice any child to want them - not colour blind ones obviously - so could you imagine my OUTRAGE and sheer HORROR at opening the packet when I got home to smash the glass globes, to find they were SOUR.


Thats right, they were not SWEET they were SOUR and made me do a weird lemon sucky face thing when I ate them.


Who can I claim some compo from for this deliberate and downright SCANDELOUS misslabelling of SWEETS.

Wont somebody please think of the Adults.

Yours,

OUTRAGED of LONDON.

    More importantly - did the globes smash satisfactorily into lots of artery-slashing shards?

    :T
  • Absolutely outrageous. What is this world coming to?

    Were you emotionally prepared to deal with eating all the sour sweets?

    If not you should look for compensation it's the least they can do

  • I wasnt.

    How much do you think I should ask for to soothe my pain of not reading stuff?

    Ooooh I'd say at least 10K just think if it had been a child like you said.

    It's about time £land thought of the children!
