Yep, as you can read in the blog entry title ..... I recently found hair in my VERY EXPENSIVE popcorn. If you read my Sentosa entry recently (You can re-read it here), I was gushing about the very tasty popcorn that we bought on Sentosa.
As this family loves popcorn, I did not hesitate to purchase the Garretts popcorn when we were there. And because they allowed tasting before you purchased your choice, I was very assured that I would love the taste. And loved it, I did!
Unfortunately, as I neared the bottom of my Tupperware container recently (I placed the remaining popcorn in the container to keep it fresh & crunchy), I found hair on a single popcorn. At first, I thought that it was my strand of hair that got in the batch ... but it wasn't!
Why was I so sure that it wasn't (anyone's hair) from my home? Because the hair (it was also a little brownish - no one has brown hair here) was stuck underneath a layer of (thick) caramel, that has surrounded it. So it must have belonged to the people preparing it!
Double Yucks!
Unfortunately my digicam is not very good at taking close-up shots, so this was the clearest ones I could get.
I was very turned off by the fact that I found a strand of hair in my very expensive popcorn (Thank God it wasn't curly or springy!!!). But I also know that it wasn't done on purpose (better not!).
But how do you let it go just like that?
Is it a hygiene-safety issue or carelessness on one person's part? I shudder when I think about it!
I can't promise that I will boycott their products EVER but I will definitely think twice before I buy it again (even if their popcorn is the best I've ever tasted).
How about you? Will you buy it again???!!!
