As I mentioned last week, I found a sharp piece of shrapnel formed into a still uncooked slice of Butterball turkey bacon and THANKFULLY removed it, at first thinking it was a little piece of bone. The piece is about the size of a tooth filling--perhaps it is just that.
Today we received our shrapnel relief package from ConAgra, owners of Butterball. Inside was four coupons for a free Butterball product under $5 dollars. (Too bad neither of us were particularly fond of Butterball products, even before we found the shrapnel.) Also included was a padded envelope that is possibly the biggest padded envelope I've ever seen. Padded and TWICE the size of a file folder--just to send them back a piece of metal that was small enough to be accidentally formed into a slice of turkey bacon. And of course there is a letter--
Dear Ms MichaelYour recent experience has caused us concern and we appreciate you taking the time to notify us.
As we discussed, the object would be very helpful to our evaluation. Would you please send us the object in the enclosed envelope? The object will be forwarded to our Quality Assurance Department to assist them in reviewing the situation you reported. We appreciate you taking the time to mail the object to us.
Now, most people would send "the object" and move on with their lives. But boy would I love a response to "the object" itself. I want to know what they think of it! Where they think it came from! I mean, I almost ate it, the least they can do is try to explain it.
I'll be including a letter with "the object" (which they've informed me to tape to a piece of paper for safe travel) and I think I will ask for a response to my letter and my "object."
