This gum is absolutely gross. I bought it today at the capitol snack bar, mainly on a whim because I was feeling sick of mint gum and I had never noticed this flavor of gum before (apparently it is a limited edition flavor, which is probably for the best). It tasted like some sort of horrible berry dipped in chemicals. When I got home, A-Yo asked why I smelled like I had been in a hospital. I was confused at first, but then realized it was because of the gum in my pocket (usually my pleasant man-scent is what people notice when I enter the room!). Appartently, some people out there like the gum and actually yearn for it since it is relatively hard to find in some markets.
I was certain that I would never finished the pack (for which I spent $1.30), so I knew the only logical thing was to write a letter to Wrigley to complain and return my unwanted nasty-berry gum. A-Yo and I had a laugh riot writing the letter, and even though we tried for a humorous tone, the gist of the complaint was real. So their customer service people better send me some coupons for free gum….otherwise I’m out $1.30 for the gum and $0.42 for the stamp. Our masterwork below the jump.
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing in regards to your “Positively Pomegranate” flavor of Orbit gum. Unfortunately, my experience was not very positive. Today I purchased a pack of the pomegranate gum, and tried a piece. Needless-to-say, I was not pleased with the strange, berrylike taste. When I came home, my wife asked what smelled like some sort of chemical emanating from my coat pocket. I showed her my recent purchase and she was shocked and appalled. She tried a piece, and immediately spit it out.
I usually don’t complain about products, and I have always been pleased with Orbit gum, even the fruit flavors. However, I would like to return the offending package of gum, which is enclosed within.
What is most amazing to me is how this product made it through your product testing and focus groups. I am shocked and puzzled that anyone would like this flavor and recommend selling it to millions of people.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Yulz!
