How To Get Free Food: Tell People Your Product Is “Horrible”
The U.K. Metro website wrote a review of Aunt Bessie’s Sausage and Mash Cones (sausage, mashed potatoes, peas and gravy in an ice cream cone), calling the food (and I quote):
Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible
Aunt Bessie, naturally, was displeased and brought the publishers of said review a whole bunch of these Mash Cones. And, lo and behold, the paper changed their tune faster than you can say, “the dog’s bollocks”.
Metro would like to apologise if our recent article, ‘World’s most disgusting ice cream’, inadvertently gave the impression that the sausage, mash, peas and gravy ice-cream cone concoction featured in it was in some way unpleasant.
We would also like to thank the lovely makers of the mash cones, Aunt Bessie’s, who turned up unexpectedly at our office today with a load of sausage and mash in an attempt to change our minds.
The moral of the story is: When you say something is crap, chances are that the company in question will give you stuff for free. I’d also like to say that Jim Beam, Marlboro, Burger King, Domino’s, Panasonic and Ford make shitty products, especially those flat-screen HDTVs and conversion vans. Awful.
