Bhuja Mystery
I was happily munching away today on my recently purchased bag of bhuja mix when my teeth came across a rather unpleasant surprise.
I'll let my letter to the manufacturer say the rest...

Dear Sir or Madam:
I purchased a 500g bag of bhuja mix branded under the "Bulk Foods for value" brand from Woolworths supermarket in Kaori, Wellington on Sunday 22nd February 2009.
Approximately 10 minutes into eating the product from the bag my teeth discovered a large solid object which definitely did not seem like bhuja mix. In fact, upon closer inspection, I found that this approximately 1.5cm3 object was a stone!
This was, to put it mildly, surprising. Upon checking the ingredients I could find no mention of stones, twigs or other inedible objects. I can only assume that bhuja mix is not supposed to include stones. One possible theory is that it was masquerading as a peanut...it did look a little similar.
My teeth got quite a fright as well. I fear I may have chipped one or several of my front teeth in unknowingly biting into this stone; it certainly caused considerable pain. A visit to the dentist will be in order.
I am therefore seeking to know what you will do to put this unfortunate situation right. For your reference, pictorial evidence of the offending item accompanies this letter.
I expect a response and resolution within 2 weeks.
Sincerely,
So please pay attention with bhuja mix, you never know what might be in there. At least it wasn't a fossilised cicada, although that would have been much cooler than a stone.
Here are some pics for evidence:
