Oh, and I am so sorry about your bad Laffy Taffy luck! (Btw, I definitely remember Tangy Taffy and it was delicious). It sounds like it may turn around, though, if they're going to send you a bunch of free stuff to make up for that nasty hair!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-49330101681708613762009-09-18T15:10:42.538-07:002009-09-18T15:10:42.538-07:00Wooo-hooooo!

Congrats!<br /><br />Now I need to know what other foods that Laffy Taffy makes that they are taking so seriously. Apparently those hair/beard-nets aren't too effective for them. The question is - will you buy Laffy Taffy again (assuming they aren't setting you up with a lifetime supply to hush you up...uh, too late)? And was the Laffy Taffy as good as you remembered up until the unpleasant discovery?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-49122771941197837182009-09-18T14:32:48.438-07:002009-09-18T14:32:48.438-07:00Congrats on the high profile knitting!

I once ate half of one of those snackpacks of Fritos only to discover that the bottom of the bag contained at least 100 dead, dismembered ANTS. I called Frito-Lay and they could care less. They sent me an envelope, I sent them the package, and they called me at like 7am a couple weeks later (I was in college, so this was unGodly) to tell me that they had found the chew hole but would take absolutely no responsibility for where the ants had gotten into the package (whether at the store or the manufacturing facility.) never mind the fact that this bag came from a multipack box from Costco and none of the other bags had "chew holes" so there's no way they could've gotten there in the store. <br /><br />So they sent me a coupon for a free bag of Fritos. I wrote them an email saying that I absolutely did not want their free bag of Fritos and, in fact, I would not be buying any of their products ever again. So they sent me THREE coupons for free Fritos. <br /><br />And, because I wasn't traumatized enough by that whole debacle...when Adam and I were looking for wedding sites, we found the most beautiful little stone chapel in Chattanooga, TN. I really wanted to get married there. But when we went to visit it, guess what was right next store that you couldn't see in the pictures online? A big, noisy Frito-Lay distribution facility.<br /><br />Enough unpleasantries...<br /><br />Congrats on the IK cover!

Do you get to keep the sample, or does Interweave retain it?<br /><br />I loved Laffy Taffy, but I didn't know about it's history.<br /><br />And yes, your blue toes are awesome.

I must say I do love some Lauffy Taffy but having worked in the food industry before, employees do their best but nothing is entirely perfect. You did the smart thing calling them and not screaming about it on the phone. I'm sure the lady appreciated it. I used to not eat anything Tootsie Roll because I was told they always had rat hair in it in middle school. Obviously, not true lol.crookedknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225182364421015474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-69813002554203700382009-09-17T20:18:49.228-07:002009-09-17T20:18:49.228-07:00Congratulations!

That was quite a CSI course they put you through just for the hair. I mean, they had better send you like a case of Wonka candies to make up for the time it cost you to answer all those questions and take the pic, not just a few samples. Or at least you should insist they do so :-)soknitpickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168262237286825852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-87856985581492386812009-09-17T20:00:47.276-07:002009-09-17T20:00:47.276-07:00Wonderful!

That is so weird about the laffy taffy... if it makes you feel any better (not that it would, but....) I was in a very nice restaurant celebrating my boss's birthday, and there was a hair in my pasta. It was definitely not from my head. I only found it after I was 2/3 done my food.
