**UPDATE**toy didn't come in marked cereal box -what recourse do i have?

[psiwashing]

i bought a box of mini-wheats marked that it contained an indiana jones spoon inside, but after eating the cereal, there is no spoon in the box. unless i mistakenly ate it, then it did not come with one. i am wondering what recourse (if any), i can take? thanks

**UPDATE**

i was telling my fiance about my predicament, and she informed that she through the spoon out.

now, the question is, should i go rooting through the garbage to find it?? thanks in advance for your constructive opinions

[XxXSnake23XxX]

call the # on the box or buy another box
but really... seriously

[700mb80min]

Call the company , they`ll gladly send you a spoon so you wont loose another nights sleep .;)

[tonychau]

seriously, i mean seriously you didn't need a thread for it.

[psiwashing]

thanks for the advice. i am not going to buy another box just b/c they didn't include the spoon in the one i got. i tried calling the company, but they aren't open on the weekend.

[RaTeD]

seriously, i mean seriously you didn't need a thread for it.

+1, god damnit its just a spoon

[EmperorOfCanada]

Write a complain letter to the prime ministers office. Or contact the media.

[UncleSteve]

Sue for pain and suffering as well as humiliation. The minimum you should sue for is eleventy-bazillion dollars.

[cheapmeister]

Now are you sure the box wasn't opened/tampered with before you bought it :lol:

[XxXSnake23XxX]

boycott the company

[Miike]

Make your fiance buy you another box of mini-wheats and once it is confirmed that you have the spoon, get a new fiance.

[user01]

LOL. Go dig the trash for it... :razz::razz::razz:

[joeyjoejoe]

LOL!

Tell your fiance it's over... clearly she doesn't share your views on spoons!

[psiwashing]

good thing we are not married and only engaged. i couldn't imagine how hard it would be to decide who gets custody of the paderno cutlery in the event of a divorce.

[felixmo]

come on...it's just a spoon:D

[XxXSnake23XxX]

come on...it's just a spoon:D

it may have high resale value, even on RFD

[darkprince]

Hmm... can i fart in your cereal? WTF is this thread!?

Are you engaged to a Cabbage Patch girl? Who cares about a plastic spoon? Doyou only eat breakfast when there's a toy inside, why couldn't you get another box? =P

[TeriyakiJack]

It's the principle of the matter people. Yes, it seems kind of silly to be all up in arms about losing a spoon, but people go out of their way to PM and save cents on the dollar here on RFD.

Best to give the # on the box a call, I am SURE they will send you out something for your troubles.

Dump the fiance. If she's gonna throw out your souvenir spoon from the Mini-Wheats now, what sort of control do you think she's going to try holding over you when you're married? Sheesh! Imagine what she'll do to your porn collection!!!

Oh...one more thing...it's "threw", not "through"...

[Hunter316]

I am trying to figure out if the OP was legitimatly concerned about the situation or was just looking for a laugh and some attention because I can't see a mature reasonable adult getting so bent out of shape about a novelty spoon that they feel the need to rant to the entire world or at least all members of RFDs about it. I don't mean to sound rude but get a life.

[zoolander]

Thanks OP, bought 3 boxes

How could she throw this out? Watch, someday they'll be talking about it on the antique roadshow ;).

[brunes]

Those things look like some weird glowing sex toys, not spoons...

Maybe thats why she threw it out

[slim_shady]

C'mon people, take this seriously... the OP is obviously distraught about this incident. :D

My suggestion (because you know every company is perfect and no one makes mistakes) is to watch the toilet carefully before you flush... it's gotta be comin' out soon!

edit: didn't see your update... wow, that just saved you a lot of pain and toilet watching!

[CalgaryRunner]

Dump the fiance, marry the spoon.

[The Master]

i call this a joke...

[psiwashing]

i call this a joke...

i really thought that it didn't come in the box, and she really threw it out without telling me.

but yeah, i thought it would be sort of funny to post it, as it is really not much more ridiculous than more 'serious' posts about people trying to save a few cents

[Chr1s]

Bloody hell. Why are such asinine threads started here?

OP, grow up. Are you sure it was your fiancee, and not your Mom that threw that spoon out? :razz:

[madamadakun]

Sue her. She is suppose to be responsible for the lost of the spoon. However, make sure it's the same colour. Btw, aren't u going to collect all 3 spoons?

[mabba18]

Awsome thread.

The only thing I can think of is that cereal must have been sitting around since last May. Yummy!

[Blackmajik]

I could something like this on Seinfeld and Jackie Chiles taking the case.

[shannn]

Is this how you would react if you got 2 spoons? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDAoWYyGJmk) :lol:

A double prizer?

This post is a complete and total waste of bandwidth. Seriously whining about toys in cereal?

Obviously we cannot post videos here, so I present a still from the re-enactment video.

what makes matters worse is i already had an orange indian jones spoon that got lost in a recent move, and i was really looking forward for a replacement.

Are you actually old enough to be engaged....or I guess I should say to get married?:confused:

[molala]

Aaaahhh...you beat me to it. I was going to ask how old is OP. :lol:

[CheapScotsman]

Are you actually old enough to be engaged....or I guess I should say to get married?:confused:You only have to be 16 to be married (with parental consent) but i guess you could be even younger to get engaged.

edit ... and, yes, I know that you probably already knew that

[ES_Revenge]

This thread could not have been serious. Who rated it with more than one star? I guess there was some humor in it...

[ES_Revenge]

Thanks OP, bought 3 boxes

http://collectibleshop.tripod.com/kelloggs-indiana-jones-spoon-1.jpg
Actually wait that's a pretty cool spoon! I can see why OP is so upset. I want one too! In fact I need to collect all three!

Yes... "Threw it out" LOL :lol: Though maybe due to the "non-replaceable battery" it was uh, used, and then thrown out.

[LonesomeDove]

Dump the fiance. If she's gonna throw out your souvenir spoon from the Mini-Wheats now, what sort of control do you think she's going to try holding over you when you're married? Sheesh! Imagine what she'll do to your porn collection!!!

+1, get rid of the fiance.

[Snicla]

Get a new fiance. There's no excuse!


Edit: Anyone else think the Indiana Jones logo is funny as hell? "Light 'em up, and let the journey begin!"

i ... i am wondering what recourse (if any), i can take? thanks

[nfuz]

but after eating the cereal, there is no spoon in the box.

how is this thread 4 pages ><


and wtf is up with the price on miniwheats...$6-7 bucks a box at most places? sheesh

[Glace]

What everyone doesn't understand is that it is a FRICKIN SWEET SPOON. Look at it! It has a faux stone handle! Yes I said a handle, not a flat piece of plastic or metal for wussy dainty hands, a honest to god round handle for meaty palms! It has hieroglyphics and $hit, so you know I be all mystical! It has a carving of a head.....ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HANDLE! Can you show me a spoon with a carving??? It has a skull and aliens and $hit on the spoon itself, you gotta know that's bada$$! And the best part, it FREAKING LIGHTS UP! Now you can eat your cereal......IN THE FRICKING DARK! How can this spoon get any better? THERE ARE THREE TO COLLECT! Don't feel like eating no Miniwheats in the dark with a yellow spoon? BAM SWITCH TO A RED SPOON! IN YO FACE RFD'ERS!

[untaka]

Honestly you need to dump her, do you want to spend your life with someone who throws away your valuables?

Sure, but not only would he be out a spoon, he'd also be out the occasional fork too.

Wow! It's an Amazing Spoon!!!

I nominate this thread and the update as a dumbest thread of the year (so far).

This must be some special spoon to have to go thru the dustbin to find it.
