What the heck. I wanted some delicious peanuts, but I got this jar of crap.
So what did I do? I wrote a letter.
Hello,
Yesterday, I picked up a jar of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. I was appalled at how it tasted.
I’ve always been a fan of the Planters brand, and have always bought Planters when I had a hankering for some Honey Roasted Peanuts. This was the the first time I’ve tried your Dry Roasted Peanuts. I bought a store brand (Meijer’s) jar of peanuts just last week, and enjoyed them immensely. I had thought that Planters brand of Dry Roasted Peanuts would at least taste on par with the store brand: I was wrong.
What I got was a large jar of bland, tasteless peanuts. Not only bland, but it left me with this really disgusting aftertaste taste that can only be described as a manufacturing defect. Whatever it is, it isn’t a very pleasant taste that gets left in my mouth after I forcefully swallow a handful of it.
And that’s not all. I was over at a friend’s place, and seeing that they had Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts, I knew I had to have some. And even there, I tasted that same blandness in HONEY ROASTED peanuts… the ones that I enjoyed so much from the start.
Maybe it’s just this jar and my friend’s jar, but I’d like to get some kind of compensation for this. It does say “satisfaction guaranteed” on it, and this incident has definitely made me think twice about what brand of peanuts to buy.
We’ll see what happens from here.
Those that know me pretty well will know I love honey roasted peanuts. Heck, peanuts and almonds and cashews and… yeah. I like nuts.
That’s a setup, by the way. Someone bring it home.
