No more ice cream

October 31st, 2006 at 03:35 am

I was buying ice cream from a delivery company. I'm not sure I can mention the name on this site, but there aren't that many food delivery services out there. They use a swan on the side of their big yellow trucks. I have been a steady customer for years. I realize it is a bit unfrugal but the stuff is great. As of today I am no longer a customer. The catalog they dropped off had a big pink bow on it and advertised their Think Pink sale. To me that would seem that they are going to donate something from the sales to help fight breast cancer. I emailed them to ask since I couldn't find any info on the catalog. The instant reply I got back said no, they just wanted an eye catching color on the front. I think the pink ribbon campaign has gone on long enough and is well known enough that people will think the same thing I did. Some of those people won't follow up on it and will just buy stuff without realizing they aren't contributing. I have cancelled my customer status with them as of tonight. My DH agrees with me.

    Wow! That's pretty crazy. I used to buy from them too, but we stopped because of the prices. Their corndogs are pretty good though.

    That was very moral of you. They were clearly exploiting the popularity/awareness of the breast cancer campaign. I'm going to take a closer look at all those clothing/shopping websites that are also promoting "pink sales"
