Remember a post or two ago when I was whining about the Dove mini fiasco? About how I went maniacally through an entire box only to find one single mini that was chocolate inside?
You, no doubt, also recall that, pushed to the point of no return, with a lot of time on my hands, and an appalling minimum of shame, I called customer service. The young man in customer service kindly said he would look into the situation……………………………………………………………………..riiiight.
But he did send me a coupon for a free box of sweet treats, so I was pretty happy. Until I got to my local stores and discovered that none of them were carrying Dove Minis anymore…not a stinking one! What the hell Giant Eagle and Shop N Save? What’s worse is the only ones left were the larger Dove Bars with…yes…you guessed it…vanilla ice cream inside.
So, clearly either God is messing with me, or this is a lesson in Loving the One You’re With, as Stephen Stills taught us in 1970. I never liked the idea of that song, but now that I’m older and the crowd is thinning out, both in the Dove bar category and elsewhere, maybe it’s not such a bad idea.
Know what? The chocolate is so rich and yummy on these bars that the vanilla is actually good with it.
God, I hope I’m not just settling.
And please give me a follow if you haven’t already, or bug your friends and get them to follow me.
