My gf bought some Del Monte fruit cups for her lunches, and one of the damn things had 5 - count 'em 5 - tiny little chunks of peach in it!
Come on, Del Monte, I'm not paying you for a cup o' syrup!! :|

Warning: fairly big pics.

(Yes, I have nothing better to do than photograph and register my disgust regarding substandard food packing. Worst fruit cup ever.) :D

That has to be one of the funniest pics I've seen... :D

Honestly, don't get so steamed! S#!t happens, write them a letter, demand satisfaction, get satisfaction.

If they really had no quality control, you'd have found fingers in your cup-o-syrup.

You think thats bad look at this and this and this!

I almost fed my baby this. The formula was good for a couple more months when I bought it. I wrote the company a long letter and they did an investigation into it but found nothing wrong with the batch. They sent us a case of formula as an apology but we stopped giving our baby that brand after that incident.

LOL, I'm not really mad. My gf just showed the 95% peach-free peach cup to me and we were like WTF? :p By the way, the phrase "demand satisfaction" makes it sound like I should challenge someone to a duel by slapping them with a glove. ;)

Doggiedog: :Q Glad your baby didn't actually eat that!

I just wanna crack up over your misfortune ;)

But back in the day, I remember they used to come in metal tins with pop tops. I guess some kid injured themselves. No see through properies.

Doh! DelMonte needs to ring up a Six Sigma black belt on the old Batphone to take care of this!
