I bought a can of Planters MIXED nuts and there was only 1/2 of a pecan in there. The rest were regular peanuts.

I feel like I have been cheated.

I think you should sue them. That's clearly false advertising. Maybe if they settle for enough money,you could grease the wheels and help Mangini "decide" Bollywood is the way to go!

I feel like I have been cheated.Absolutely impossible for this to happen with Planters nuts, the packaging process will not allow it. I fear you are mistaken.....

Thanks baamf, but I hardly consider you unbiased.

Lookin' good, man. Lookin' good.

Well, I heard from Herm who heard from Bollywood that it wasn't just Planters that cheated you on nuts but genetics also had a hand in it.

True enough. I'm often refered to as "the voice of reason" or "mr. rational"

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be "nuts"

Hey Alk, tell us, man. What's it like to be a nutty guy? Is it fun? Do you ever wonder what sanity would be like?

Tell us.

Sorry it went over your head Fred but I wasn't referring to those kind of nuts. Maybe this will give you a hint. :Nuts:

I wonder if my soon to be ex works for the peanut company?

I think it's time for some grassroots activism.

Ok, I'm reading the can right now it says; AT PLANTERS WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT PROVIDING YOU QUALITY MIXED NUTS. ENJOY OUR CONSISTENTLY FRESH TASTE NUT AFTER NUT AFTER NUT!

Yeah, right.

That's what it says. Also; INGREDIENTS: PEANUTS, CASHEWS, ALMONDS, BRAZIL NUTS, HAZELNUTS (FILBERTS), PECANS, AND/OR COTTONSED OIL, SALT.

FOR CONSUMER INQUIRIES; CALL TOLL FREE 1-877-MRPEANUT

So here's my idea, everyone, and I mean everyone, call the number and when they answer say;

"Jetstone's got no pecans, biotch"

And hangup, then call back and say

"Jetstone's got no Brazil nuts, biotch"

And hangup, then call back and say

"Jetstone's got no filberts, biotch"

Can't you just see it now? The message will quickly echo all the way up to the board of directors. Emergency meetings will be called. Spin doctors will be hired. Late night strategy sessions will burn on into the night, and eventually, some worn-out, flustered CEO with a loosened tie and dark circles under his eyes will stare down at the ground and with defeat in his voice, declare;

"The people have spoken, they want pecans, give 'em f***ing pecans"
