I wonder if there is someone somewhere chomping this stuff down...”
You bet - eating as I am reading and writing. We bought 4 half gallons a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale. Sent them an email and told them we only had enough left for one more week so they better get back in operation by that time!!!
I don’t know what to say :)
I get the quarts to subdue temptation. One a week. Rotate between Butter Pecan, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Pistachio, Black Walnut, Peppermint and Cherry but it is mostly dictated by what is available from the favorites list. Did I forget Old Fashioned Vanilla?
Sure sounds like extortion to me. Same problem in plants in different areas? Not bloody likely. They had better put the thumb screws down on security. If it were me I’d shut down all the plants, fire almost everybody and see what happened.
