Deformed pringles

DarkShadow · 24 Apr 2006 at 19:30

I have 2 tubs of Pringles. Salt & Vinegar and Sour Cream & Onion.

The Salt & Vinegar tub is a perfect example of Pringles.

Now the Sour Cream & Onion tub is very deformed! The crisp are like half eaten like, which more or less equals to half a tub.

My fellow Overclocker's, would a complaint do me any good?

Yes it would.
Someone on here got free yogurt when they complained

half eaten as in they are shattered and broke during transit? You can compliant, but the most you get out of it is probably a few more tubs of pringles.

I have no idea what I was thinking but when I read the thread title and clicked on it I could have sworn it said deformed nipples

They're nappy shaped and not broken . . .

are they not the dip shape ones?

Raymond Lin · 24 Apr 2006 at 19:35

i think they are broken, you can clearly see where it snapped off and if you empty the tub i am sure you will find the crumps at the bottom. at the end of the day you are getting the same amount of pringles, just not all together.

Still, write them a letter

If you got it from a major supermarket, take it back and see what they say, in the past we've been routinely given a replacement and your money back (ie. free pringles) - or, I'm sure there's a "any comments or complaints" address on the pack, send them a letter and I'm sure you'll get a voucher or a pack or two for free.

I rang Muller up from work one day as my crunch corner had no 'crunch' bits in it- just yoghurt.

They sent me ten one pound vouchers for muller products, which was nice

Make the call- word of mouth marketing is a very powerful tool. They will gladly send you some vouchers for pringles rather than have you telling your mates how bad pringles are....

I had a solid kit kat once.. they sent me 2

Would that not be a Polo with a hole but no mint?

I have one of those on my desk in front of me now

Phone the customer services number on the back tomorrow in office hours. If you get put through to the Newcastle help desk they're all lovely, you'll get sent free vouchers. 90% of them are real honeys too.

And me!

I once complained to Walker's, they sent those boxes you get in the pubs of every single flavour crisp they did to shut us up. The crime... "my salt and vinegar crisps had no salt" WIN!

Think it works just lying to them and pretend you got a defect product?

Oh the possibilities...
