Sometimes companies hand out coupons for that sort of thing.

My grandfather bought some cherries'n'cream ice cream some time ago. There was not a single cherry in the entire container.

He wrote to the company about it.
They sent back about $25 in coupons. Good ones, too - not "25 cents off if you buy 3 gallons." These were "Free half gallon" types of coupons.


I guess that particular container was filled out of the top of the vat, and it's cheaper to do that than refine their process to ensure 99.99966% cherry inclusion.

Orville Redenbacher's Poppycock is sooo much better than Cracker Jacks.

Just about any other candy popcorn is better than Crackerjack. I like Crackerjack for the history, but every box is filled with disappointment. I keep going back every so often, only to be disappointed again and again. It's an abusive relationship.
