Damn you, Swanson
Posted by Cap in Woops, Bought Crap |Where’s my third chicken strip!?
I was opening up a box of Swanson Fried Chicken Strip TV dinner (10 for $10) for a quick lunch, and to my horror I found only two chicken strip. I knew something was wrong when I pick up the box, and it didn’t feel like 11 ounces.

Oh yeah, if you value your health and sanity, you’ll stay away from TV dinner. But if you don’t care, here’s the Single Man’s Guide to TV dinner. You should also check out the breakfast from hell, take a look at the “Nutrition” Facts picture.
Damn. Missing chicken strip. Fraudulent check card charge.
Things are just not going well for me lately, huh?

lol…probably doing you a favor on the health side.
See if there is a 1-800 on th box and call. You will likely get a coupon for a free dinner…at the very least, it’s in theit best interest to know they have a problem.

lol you’re right.
there is a number, but I think it’ll probably be easier to shoot off an email.
they’ll probably offer me coupons, not sure if thats a good thing or not.
probably not.

How funny. Whenever I used to buy Chicken McNuggets I would always count them to see if I would get lucky and have 7 instead of 6, and to make sure I didn’t get only 5.
You’re just lucky whoever stole that chicken strip didn’t leave a human finger in its place.

haha, I do the same thing. on $1 chicken nugget tuesday, I open the box really quick before I leave, just to make sure they’re all there.
I probably would have heat up the finger and ate it without noticing the taste difference!

Friend of mine got a bum box of Oscar Meyer turkey, it tasted funny.
He called them up, and they sent him $35 in coupons valid for any Oscar Meyer (and related company) products!

it IS the price of 1-2 boxes of TV dinner, so I guess I cant complain.

This a complaint
I wanted to bring this to your attention. Your direction tell you to put them on a cooking sheet in the oven I did that. So happen the plastic melt to the cookie sheet. Twice I had to throw to of them out. There not cheap cookie sheets, I think you should be paying for the cookie sheet plus reinburse me for ruin my dinners. Also they look so nice on the front of the cover yet there really small.
Please get back to me
