"Good one"

"We bought some of your products at the store. One of the cookies in the package was unopened and had a bite in it, like they'd pulled it out of the trash and thrown it in there! This is incredibly annoying. Don't you have any control over them?! Are you just stuffing random things in there?! I'm disappointed! I don't recommend buying them, as they've gone bad. It's a complete mess!"
