Witchcraft supplies! It was probably a Wiccan.

Only one bat? I would complain. I thought there were two bats in every box.

So many people fake this stuff for a buck. It’s impossible to prove.

This sounds like MADE IN CHINA....

In Italy they send you a dead fish.

Jus’ sayin’.

Probably amongst the other Chinese ingredients.

"But there it was, a stone-dead, dried-up bat. It was really disgusting.

I know how they feel... I like my bats fresh.

Found a dead mouse on my bed the other day, guarded by my little wirehair dachshund. Mouse was then snatched away by another dachsie before I could grab it with kleenex. Then he...Reilly...didn’t have it, so looked on the bed again, as the wirehair was frantically searching among the covers. I found it first, though. I believe one of the cats killed the mouse and left it for me to serve as dinner. Lizzie, the wirehair, thought she’d have it. Not.

This explains why Europeans distrust US corporations

Since it was made in England, why this statement?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I once found a huge dead moth in a purse I bought at the Dollar Store. Not the same thing as a dead bat in your All Bran, but I just thought I’d share.

Is the cereal boxed in the US or in Europe? Most products are shipped in bulk and then packaged near the destination.

Instead of “distrusting” US corporations you should question the conditions of your local distributors in Sweden.

All the increasing scandals regarding food contamination are an illustration of one of the hidden meanings behind the thought stopper “Free Trade.” One true meaning of the phrase being “Cheap and Nasty!” This has been known for about 140 years-see Thomas Carlyle.

When I was nine years old, a friend of mine and I read an article about a man who found a piece of metal in a bottle, complained to the producer and was delivered a large amount of beer, just to keep quiet about it all (seems he didn’t).

My companion and I decided to try this concept out, not because we had acquired a taste for beer already (but by now, I admit we both have), but because we figured we could sell the beer and earn some money.

We borrowed a typewriter (this was in -79) and sent a letter of complaint to one of the biggest breweries in Scandinavia. We never even received a response letter.

There is no justice in this world.

Hey, sounds cool to me...
Back in the early 70s, I was in the premium business and sold something like 5 million bats to Frito Lay to go in packages of corn chips.
Well, they were sponsoring Batman, and these were rings
that a kid could wear. Some of them even glowed in the dark.

“A 4 centimetre long, shrivelled-up English bat.”

Unless the bat had a passport it’s undocumented and is probably of North African/Middle Eastern origin.

[Mr. K]

Odds are the bat crawled into the box after it arrived at their house.

Bets on how soon they discover it is a local bat?

[andy58-in-nh]

What did they expect?
