Noticed a Yahoo Canada item about a Twitter competition where account holders who love Lucky Charms can post an imaginary box with a specific hashtag to win a limited edition box of Lucky Charms marshmallows. Now if the marshmallows were the large and soft versions I remember from two decades ago, I'd be posting away myself. But the current marshmallows that have appeared in Lucky Charms cereal boxes are more like freeze dried bits of sweetness (read: tough and small) would not interest me.

Found the CNN version of the same story: http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/16/news...ows/index.html

You're right, it does. But it's frustrating being mislead by what's shown online verse what you actually receive.


Kinda like Russian brides. (Hah, sorry. Had to)

Underwear and bathing suit bottoms make sense as being final sale. Bras do not as sizing varies from brand to brand and even style to style from one brand.
Especially from Forever 21 where a xs can vary from something that would fit a 7 year old to something that would fit xl.

Yes this is happening stateside also....I heard this on the satellite radio yesterday as I was driving into work. Just imagine the shock when you open you lucky charms to marshmellows instead of LCs, if you are a person that doesn't like Marshmellows

If I was a woman, it will irk me to find out that a bra I just bought, was returned by someone else. I mean I don't know what their hygiene is like, and what kind of disease they might have. Conversely, socks falls into this category as well. Yes items will be washed, but that is besides the point.

Makes you wonder how they got the job, considering English / French and maths are requirements to graduate high school, and required in our daily lives regardless of your occupation. Everyone that works / or those that come up with excuses not to work gets paid, and you needs to be able to converse.

Well in that case I guess women shouldn't be allowed to try on bras in stores either, who knows how clean/disease free the person who tried it on before me was.
Let's face it most undergarments(or clothing/food/toys etc) you buy have been handled/touched/tried on by who knows how many people and you have no idea what their cleanliness/hygiene/health is like.

I used to work retail and our policy was "hosiery , swimwear, undergarments are final sale" regardless of bras or not.
You would be shocked at how many people don`t understand the "sanitary reasons" and would freak out if you could not even offer an exchange.

The whole barney bra thing, I will get over it. Just annoyed.

I got a 20% off Sephora friends code but can't decide what use it on

LOL! I know what you mean....marshmellows shouldn't squeak when you bite them!

Actually, I am not surprised. It will seem some people were raised in a barn, and hygiene isn't in their dictionary. I have seen men in public washrooms just walk out without washing their hands, and I have been told by female sources that some women do it too

One of the reasons I don't shake hands, and just do the fist pump instead. Obviously these are the same people that will think taking daily showers is not warranted. Every contact I have had with folks wearing Duck Dynasty hunting jackets and Jeans, always leaves a smell that is unbearable.
