chips!!!

not the tv show but tortilla chips.  :o)
less salt please!
at hopp's bday party i served nachos, you know the baseball nachos.  those are the most delish kind (well unless you have had carne asada nachos). & hold up really well when you let them sit with ooey gooey cheese on top of them anyways, i bought two kinds of chips, santitos & tostitos bite sized rounds.  i love tostitos but they are sooooooo salty!!!  i like salty but not the kind that burns your tongue because it's too salty.  i actually prefer the ½ salt lays potato chips, they are super yummy & perfect amt of salty.  we also have to watch our salt due to heart issues with jason so i decided to write lays about their tortilla chips.  when writing them you have the choice of either a compliment or a complaint email.  i went with complaint only because they are too salty but i wanted to offer more of a suggestion.  i wanted to know if they could come out with a line of ½ salt tortilla chips, i prefer the bite size version but normal size would be totally ok with me.  so as i was struggling with my phone, it's not the best at email, i just expressed myself as nicely as i could that they were too salty to eat & then offered my suggestion.  this is what i got in response, let me also state that when i complain i NEVER expect anything in return i just want to tell you my opinion...

wow!  how nice of them.  it's nice to have a company take your comments & suggestions (well at least pretend to listen) & then give you something back   ;o)  i did get 2 coupons for a free bag of their chips any brand & another $1 off coupon.  i think i will reply back to that email & thank her for them.
