I just received a call from Slimfast
July 13, 2004 | Sandlady

Posted on 07/13/2004 7:00:27 AM PDT by sandlady

I just received a phone call from a Slimfast rep. She said Unilever is referring all correspondence about Whoopi/Slimfast to them and they are then forwarding everything to the marketing dept. The marketing dept is deciding what to do but she wanted to let me know that they weren't ignoring my concerns. She added that she was appalled by Whoopi's "comedy" as well. While I thought they would eventually respond with a form letter and some coupons, I am stunned that they responded so quickly and it sounds like they're serious. I'm hopeful.

Good for you. However, be prepared for the next chapter:

Bravo! I bet they have received a lot of calls.... This is the type of action that companies listen too! Hopefully this will cause their woopie ad campaign to come to an early demise.

Thanks for your efforts to 'Gloverize' Goldberg.

You've inspired me. I'm calling them too.

Getting WHOOPI for Slimfast was as smart of move as getting Monica Lewinski for Jenny Craig.

I also e-mailed Slim-Fast and told them I would no longer purchase their products as long as Whoopi Goldberg was their spokewoman. No reply yet.

Never used SlimFast in my life, but they don't need to know that... To whom it may concern: I have been a long-time user of Slim Fast products. However, I was appalled at the hate-filled diatribe of your spokeswoman, Whoopi Goldberg, at a recent Democratic fundraiser in New York City. Her attacks were not only baseless, but were vulgar and were directed towards the Commander-in-Chief, President Bush, during a time of war. There are many weightloss products on the market... drop Whoopi or I'll drop you. Thank you.

Didn't slim fast also use Monica Lewdinsky?

Or was it weight watchers that used that pig?

Ah, it was Jenny Craig.

Since I don't use their product, did they stop using Monica as a spokesperson? I don't remember.
