Five Examples of Why You Should Complain to Companies About Bad Products

June 18, 2009

Update: I recently appeared on Channel 7′s The Morning Show to talk about this post. Watch me embarrass myself! You like free stuff, right? Then next time something goes wrong with something you’ve bought from the supermarket, I demand you let the manufacturer know. After a recent messy packaging explosion, I was so irked by [...]

Marketers, The Dictionary is not your Random Flavour Generator

March 4, 2009

There’s an increasing marketing habit I’ve observed with food advertising in recent times, and I have something to say. Corporations, take note: places are not flavours.

May 16, 2000

It was Mother’s Day on Sunday. I agreed to drive Adam and his two brothers to their mum’s place, which is near here, but not exactly walking distance. When they got back, Adam’s brothers gave me beer for my trouble. Is life always this good for taxi drivers? Sheesh, I might have to go buy [...]

What? You Weigh 64 Kilograms? Get Out of the Elevator!

December 16, 1999

I was looking through the front pocket of my backpack today, and it’s one of those backpack compartments where you just seem to accumulate crap. I realised there were 5 different kinds of mints sitting in there – one of which I never even remember buying. I’m sure you’ve heard Tic Tacs being called Barbie [...]

Erotic Liquorice

April 9, 1999

Sitting on the train today, I noticed someone blow his nose into his tissue, but then he did something I didn’t really expect. He opened his tissue in full view of everyone else to check out the goober he’d snorted out (no doubt giving himself a score out of 10). He probably has a whole [...]
