    Cadbury's bizarre response to customer complaint leaves fans shocked - ‘Are you serious?’

    Why do these idiots feel they must constantly brag to the world how clever they hv been? It is as stupid as putting pics of yr kids up then complaining when they get kidnapped. Stop promoting yourselves. You invite trouble, and no one is that interested in you or yr life.

    Tins of Golden Circle Pineapple Pieces that bulged out at each end as the seam splits, tin of Heinz Tomato Soup that splits at the seam, and a small tin of Golden Circle Beetroot splitting at its seam - all in my pantry.

    There are a few stores still accepting limited quantities )using the REDcycle bins), bcz REPLAS in Carrum Downs still processes soft plastics into useful products. It was not all done by this RED mob! Ring REPLAS and ask them for drop off places.
