How many of you out there have tasty food products you eat despite knowing they're not terribly good for your health?
Ok, I know that's a silly question, but it gives me an opening to write about French's French Fried Onions... one of my favorite tasty products that will never be confused with health food.

The Flop
A couple of months ago, after prolonged period of shunning the evil onions, I broke down and bought one of the newly-designed plastic containers of the devil's handiwork.
Good times, right? ...Wrong!
The goods were stale, mushy and just plain bad tasting.
But, being the trouper that I am, I forged on and completed my mission of emptying the package.
Two weeks later I took the plunge again and bought a second batch of the battered bits.
Once again... a stale, mushy extravaganza of bad taste. (The onions, not me.)
So, it was off to French's on the Internet to register my distaste for their formerly tasty product. And, it was off to Twitter to spread the word to my fellow twits who tweet.
The Fix
Just before Christmas I was the recipient of a mysterious brown box containing a plastic package and the letter shown here below...

The folks at Reckitt Benckiser LLC, the owner of French's, had dispatched to me a new batch of the bits and were fessing up to their faux pas.
"...As with all big moves, we encountered challenges in the beginning stages which we corrected right away. Unfortunately, a few cases of product slipped past quality control. Our team works tirelessly to maintain consistent product and we are very sorry that you bought a product that did not meet your expectations..."
The verdict for the re-tooled container and the morsels: The bad taste is gone and they're back to just being bad for your waistline and your arteries.
What more could a fella want for Christmas?
