Birdseye Complaint Email

easyrider · 13 Mar 2015 at 02:12

I was clearing the freezer out with unhealthy foods...to make some space so thought I would cook off these burgers...I was astounded at how much Fat came off them...

So I thought I would write a comedy email to Birdseye.

Dear Birdseye,

Please find attached some pictures of your Premium BBQ Quater Pounders I purchased. I cooked 4 on my Grill and collected this much Fat. Which quite frankly is disgusting. How can a product be deemed Premium if it contains this much fat? And Saturated Fat at that? I did not eat your product as I didn't deem it fit for human consumption so I fed it my dog Zappa.

Please can you look into reducing Fat in your premium range please? Its no wonder that the UK is OBESE!

Kind Regards

Anyhow after a reply email asking for Batch code and packaging time stamp They have said they are sending me out a response letter...Fingers crossed I get some Vouchers!

Seriously?
Fat is a good thing in burgers (though maybe not if it all drains out like that!)

The premium burgers contain more fat than the standard burgers, that's probably one of the things that makes them premium.

Premium
Normal

And the nutritonal information will be right there on the label, it's not their fault you didn't read it.

I know your email was supposed to be a joke, but if you want meat without fat in it you may as well head down to your local Poundland and buy a pack of 5 erasers. It'll be cheaper and have the same taste and texture.

So you fed them to your dog. Your dog thanks you for your consideration. Cue dog pooing in your letterbox in protest
BTW what exactly did you expect from them. They are cheap for a reason. Lol premium and birdseye.

Your first mistake was using one of those grills they dont seal the meat they broil it.
Second mistake was presuming fat = bad. When fat = tasty.

I suggest you try Quorn.

I love reading complaints

I sometimes go on supermarkets fb pages to read people being stupid like "omg there was a bug in my berries that grow outside" or "omg too much fat making this healthy frozen burger unhealthy".
Saying that its been a while so might be time to go and have a laugh again

I get what you're saying but "sealing" the meat is a bit of a myth. Broiling is actually grilling also.

Oh lawd, easyrider, dietary fat doesn't make you fat.

randomshenans · 13 Mar 2015 at 08:56

I like saturated fat. Especially in my burgers.

COYS · 13 Mar 2015 at 09:15

Those burgers are 'premium' in the same way as your email can be deemed 'comedy.'

FARGO · 13 Mar 2015 at 09:30

What will you buy with vouchers though?

Lima · 13 Mar 2015 at 10:01

I'm amazed you complained about such a silly thing, however..... You have an awesome dog and the fact it's called Zappa is quality so I'll let you off.

Adam · 13 Mar 2015 at 10:01

I'm guessing you expected everyone to congratulate you on what a champion you are and how your email is really funny.

Looks like it backfired! Dreadful email too!

MooMoo444 · 13 Mar 2015 at 10:01

Without fat your burgers would be dry and 'orrible.

I prefer buying 5 percent fat steak mince and making my own.

Its meant to be.

Seems the majority have completely missed the point of this thread...It was tongue in cheek nonsense!

Talk about being up your own ****

I was being deliberately obtuse

FrenchTart · 13 Mar 2015 at 10:39

I think we got the point but just didn't find it funny.

Do you really use 5% fat mince for making burgers? In times of desperation I've used 15% and even that was dry and kind of blah.

"I know I was joking based on your response"

Comes to mind
