What should I do with my FUNKY Snapple?

[Judge Smails]

<p>So, my wife bought a case of this Cranberry Rasberry Diet Snapple Juice Drink from Pathmark.&nbsp; We went through most of the case already with no issues when I noticed something floating at the top of a bottle she was about to open.&nbsp; </p><p>It's got&nbsp;about ten&nbsp;little chunks of pebble-like grayish things floating on top.&nbsp; You'd think they might be seeds of some sort but they're too big to be either cranberry or rasberry seeds.&nbsp; Also there is a very big clump of whitish/grayish moldy like thing floating around.&nbsp; It almost looks like a cotton ball but you can tell it's not.&nbsp; In fact, it looks like it may have even grown since we first saw it a week and a half ago.&nbsp; I'm actually looking at it as I type this and I'm getting pretty skeeved.</p><p>It doesn't look like the bottle's been tampered with in any way since the pop-up cap still looks OK and the plastic seal over the cap is still in place.&nbsp; There doesn't appear to be any expiration date on the bottle either.</p><p>I'd just assume throw the thing out and get on with my life.&nbsp; My wife, on the other hand, wants to make some kind of issue&nbsp;out of&nbsp;this.&nbsp; See, we have this friend, let's call her Debbie Douchebag, &nbsp;who is notorious for writing angry letters to companies.&nbsp; Just last month she got free passes from Six Flags when she wrote them complaining of having some dirt in the bottom of her soda cup at a recent park visit.&nbsp; She often regales us with the story about how she wrote to the Snyders Pretzel Company after she chipped a tooth on a stale pretzel and they actually mailed her a check for $270.00 to cover her dental expenses!</p><p>Do you think&nbsp;my wife being negatively influenced by this nutcase or do you think I should try and milk this situation to, at the very least, get a free case of Snapple?</p>

You've got way too much time to post on your hands I think<br />

[dereckfishboy]

<p>Oh yeah, and Debbie Douchebag is the scum of the earth. Remind the bitch that those checks and freebees she gets is money that winds up coming out of some poor blue-collar guys paycheck, not the company coffers as I'm sure she conveniently believes. They ain't gonna take a cut in profit because a country of selfish stuck up whores want freebees, and they certainly ain't going take the hit out of their own pockets. The little guy is ALWAYS the one who gets fucked. Someone that probably busts their ass just to feed and cloth their kids. Selfish cunt. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

you didn't drink it or get sick so just toss it....&nbsp; everybody gets a bad batch of something once in a while

[mikeyboy]

<p>Say you saw the image of the Virgin Mary in the sludge floating on top, and <em>then</em> alert the media.</p>

[Landblast]

sell it on e-bay as Sasquatch urine.<br />

[reillyluck]

call the number on the bottle just to be a douche.&nbsp; remind them who pays their salaries. you'll get free coupons for more snapple with more crap floating in it!(crossing my fingers...good luck!)

[FUNKMAN]

<p>just tell them you found some crapple in your snapple...</p><p>and please refrain from using the word FUNKY in any derogatory manner. it's very insulting <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/tongue.gif" border="0" /></p>

Hopefully they'll give you free drinkage out of this for your troubles. This almost happened to me at Whole Foods but luckily I noticed before I checked out. Also, mysteriously, my pop top was popped, yet yours wasn't. &nbsp;</p>

<p>At worst your out like $1.09 for that drink. That is all your entitled to. Anything else and you're just being greedy. Just forget about it and maybe sometime in the future someone will not be a dick to you when they could have. Karma&nbsp;has a way of being&nbsp;a bitch, so be nice to her.</p><p>(And aren't you supposed to be the &quot;judge&quot;?)</p>

I'd still let them know.&nbsp; It may not be just your bottle, but a whole batch that's bad.&nbsp; Call the number, let them know what you've got, and just decline anything that they may want to give you.&nbsp; I do that a lot.&nbsp; I've never accepted any coupons or cash for screw ups that didn't really affect me at all.&nbsp; <br />
