Just a minute or two ago, I was enjoying a 1oz package of Planters salted cashews.  As I threw a handful into my mouth and proceeded to chew them up I heard a loud CRACK.  I thought that I had broken a tooth or something so I spit the saliva soaked contents into my hand.  What I saw wasn't a cracked tooth--much to my relief, but two pieces of glass.  Glass, in with my cashews!  I put everything back into the half eaten pouch and thought I should get alittle advice from a knowledgable bunch of people on what I should do.  Should I sue? Complain? Demand free nuts for life?  What?  Any of you lawyers want to take on Nabisco?

Here comes some serious lawyer BS for a moment, then I wanna see some good jokes.

No damages.  You need to break something, or at least freak out because you almost ate glass and seek a psych.  No damages means no recovery.

Proof problems:  Planters is just gonna say you are a scam artist who is just trying to rip off poor Mr. Peanut.

Just matter of factly put the glass back and send it off to the parent company with a note. You are not damaged so nothing due to you more than a sorry and a bag of quality Pnuts.

Yeah, forget suing them.  Here's what you do.

Send Planters a letter.  Start off by telling them how much you love their products; how you eat their cashews regularly; how you have tried other brands but always come back to Planters; how often you eat their nuts, etc.  

Then, in the letter, exclaim how surprised you were to find GLASS! in you bag of cashews.  You've never had a problem with the hundreds of bags you've eaten before.  You think this must be a fluke but you'd hate to have to switch to another brand blah blah anything else you can think of.  

With this tactic you're likely to get at least a gift certificate/coupon for a substantial quantity of nuts (along with a release/waiver form to sign and return absolving Planters of any liability from the glass episode)

Try it, it may just work.  Let us know what happens.

I found some glass in hamburger meat purchased at a super WalMart. When I bit into the hamburger something crunched and scratched my lip. I returned the unused and half eaten meat for a double refund. I wasn't injured much and I got back double my money with out asking for it. Their insurance company contacted me all worried and concerned about my intentions. I told them nobody got hurt and that I understand that accidents happen. No big deal. Man, some people want to sue over anything! Mistakes happen.
