Complaint letters

Somewhere on my list of things to do, I need to write some complaint letters. I always say I'm going to write a letter, but it's rare that I actually do.

Off the top of my head, I need to write letters to the following companies to complain about their product:

1. Cracker Jacks: I bought a box of cracker jacks in 2005 at a baseball game and got 3 peanuts. I realize peanuts are probably more expensive than caramel corn, but come on... I payed $4 for this once-tasty treat and the temporary tattoo was pretty lame.

2. Corona: There was some strange glass shavings on the outside of some Corona bottles we purchased and one of them actually pierced my finger and drew blood. It was not a serious injury, but there are enough risks associated with enjoying a beer as it is.

3. Ritz Carlton: The valet guy actually gave my car to my brother. I could understand this if I had an uncommon last name, but had my brother been an actual car thief I'd be without one Toyota Camry today. Yes, the robe in the room was comfortable, but not worth losing my car over.

4. Spirit Airlines: Three hours on the tarmac and no flying. If I was going to sit somewhere for three hours and not move, it would be my couch. There's much more leg room and bags of pretzels are much easier to open. Plus, on my couch, I don't have a 10-year-old constantly kicking the back of my seat.

5. The Chicago Cubs: 98 years and still no World Series victory. This is really getting old.
