The Response!!

Here is the response I got back today from Rice-a-roni:

Ann Marie:

We're sorry you feel Rice A Roni is not a San Franciscan treat.

Rice A Roni was first created in San Francisco as a family treat with the DeDomenico family. While Quaker Oats Company (headquartered in Chicago), bought the DeDomenico family's Golden Grain Company in 1986, Rice A Roni is still a treat that originated in San Francisco. However, we're sorry you were disappointed and we will share your comments with management.

For more information about the history of Rice A Roni, please visit: http://www.ricearoni.com/rar_aboutUs/foundingFamily/

Thank you for your business, Ann Marie, and for sharing your comments with us. We hope you will continue to be a valued loyal consumer. We have mailed a full value coupon, good on any Quaker family product, and it should arrive in about a week.

Hahahahahahahaha!! Thats awesome!! I'm looking forward to my full value coupon that shall be arriving in the mail!

PS: I'm still disappointed its not really made in San Francisco...I'm just sayin...

The San Francisco CHEAT!!!!

Ok...so I bet you're wondering what this title has to do with anything..let me set the scene for you...
So this onetime tonight I decided to make some yummy Rice-A-Roni, I was real excited cuz I was real hungry. So I am singing a song I made up about the days of the week that went something like..."Today is Tuesday..Today is the day of Tues...why is this so? We do not know! But yet it is the day called Tues." And it pretty much continued on this way til sunday...than I was just so excited about my rice-a-roni I made up a song about rice-a-roni...not the one on the commercials...this one is the original A-Marizzle masterpiece from my mind. So it was pretty much awesome! So I keep thinking, hmmm...San Francisco Treat...I wonder if this stuff is made there...which of course it should be! Hulllllloooo?? San Francisco Treat!! Makes sense right??
So I take a gander at the box and guess where this stuff is made...Its made in flippin CHICAGO ILLINOIS!!! WHAT?? I know, I know...I was totally shocked and utterly outraged and shared my disbelief with my roomie! I than shared it via text to various other friends! Than I put this energy to work and wrote an e-mail of frustration to "Golden Grain" the company that makes Rice-A-Roni in Chicago...this was my e-mail:

"Hello, Thank you for your product...I greatly enjoy rice-a-roni products. But as I was making a box of rice-a-roni tonight for dinner and singing a very catchy song I made up about rice-a-roni I glanced at the box and saw that rice-a-roni is actually made in...wait...where?? CHICAGO!!!!! Ummmm....WHAT?? San Francisco Treat...San Francisco Treat!! Last time I checked San Francisco was in California!!
I for one feel deceived by this new found information...for years and years I believed that rice-a-roni was made in San Francisco...I mean who wouldn't...it says right on the box SAN FRANCISCO TREAT!!!
Anyways morale of this comment is that I for one feel taken advantage of and like you have been lying to the World with your San Francisco treat when your product is actually made in CHICAGO!!! Maybe you should change the box to say Windy City Treat...Cuz right now I feel that the San Francisco Treat...is just a Big San Francisco CHEAT!!! I for one am very disappointed and I feel hurt and led astray by this false advertising and LIE!!!!
I don't know how you sleep at night!
Thank you for your time!
Ann Marie"

And yes you bet I actually sent this!! I will let you know if they respond!! As I write this blog and eat my Rice-A-Roni, I feel somewhat let down by something I loved so much...I trusted that rice-a-roni really was the San Francisco treat.
Next thing I know I'm going to find out that Keebler cookies aren't really made in a tree by elves and that lucky charms aren't really at the end of a rainbow...
What is the World coming to!!!

OCTUBRE!!!!

Wow! Can you believe it's october already?? Smokes! September just flew by!! Maybe its just me!

That being said its still in the 90s down here! Next week its finally supposed to cool down to the 80s! So cross your fingers!!

So life is going good down here. Teaching is keepin me pretty busy! The days go by pretty fast which is nice. I'm enjoying student teaching. It sure is an experience. I have wonderful teachers and an excellent school so that makes things really good! Only less than 2 months left! WORD!

I'm still not super positive on my plans once I'm done here, but they go like this so far....finish here, go back to spokane and substitute teach for a while than perhaps move to the East Coast with a friend for the summer. Than I'll move back to spokane or move somewhere else.

Who knows what I'll actually do though? Things can change! I'm taking suggestions in case I forgot to mention that in an early post.

October will be a good month, High School Musical 3 comes out and I am totally PUMPED!! I love HS Musical!! I know its so super cheesy, but its so cheesy that its great and I will most likely see it opening day!! Who doesn't love teenagers that break into song to deal with the stresses and joys that High School throws at them?? HOLLA!! Ok I'm real excited!! That Zac Efron is so hot right now :) Haha!!

Anywho I hope everyone has been doing radical!! Did y'all go to the RS broadcast last saturday?? Wasn't it amazing?? I loved it!

Well...I have just one question for y'all.....

"Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moon beams home in a jar? And be better off than ya are?....Or would you rather be a mule????"

I'm just sayin....
