"Miracle Berry" update - controversy

You may recall this thread:

Well, apparently a number of people (myself included) ordered some of these things, and they never delivered, and finally sent out a post 3 months later that their mother died and sent it out copying everyone's email on it, and now there's this furious row asking for refunds, chastising for waiting so long to "announce" the reason, and chastising for including everyone's email on the CC list. My mailbox has just been filling up with the back and forth. They're now offering "tablets" instead of berries, which is making people roll their eyes.

Unhappy campers, all.

1. Which of those guys

did you order from? You're brave, I guess. I don't think I would have attempted it. :shrug:

Sorry you got burned.

2. I don't care

it wasn't that much money.

But it's this little food controversy. It's like having a bunch of philosphers rebelling. Funny, in an ironic way. Sort of like a revolt by some book club or something.

4. No, but probably some bastards from Pommieland

You know how they are, the stuck-up sticky-beaks.

5. Do I?

Say no more... wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

I love those guys, but I'm not an afficianado of their every little line. I do find myself using some of their lines around people who have no idea what I'm talking about, tho. LOL

6. I'm not sure it was that great an idea in the first place

since our sense of taste is what warns us that a food has gone nasty and is no longer fit for consumption.
