Honk if you are gluten free

For those of you who are gluten free, you may already know Glutano made a gluten free candy bar similar to the scrumptious Kit-Kat. I had placed a special order for a crap load of those things back in July or August. My son loves them.

Just about every week since then, the natural food store (where I placed my order) has been calling me with status reports on the candy. Every week, they told me it was still out of stock. Having worked retail for a crap load of years, I know that when a product is on backorder for several months, nothing good ever comes of it.

Today, I learned the Break Bar has been discontinued.

I just wanted to yell at the lady on the other end of the phone line. It wasn't her fault, of course, so I didn't yell. I was nice and said, "I understand" at the appropriate times of the conversation. All the while my head was spinning, trying to think of a way to tell my son without either of us suffering a meltdown. Sigh.

Honk if you love the Glutano Break Bar. Let Glutano know this candy bar should not be discontinued.

Yeah!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. May inspiration flow freely lest you incur the wrath of your readers who are waiting for you to update. I will observe a moment of silence for your discontinued food item.

Thank you, for your support, and for understanding the gravity of the discontinued candy bar!

I have always loved your dry sense of humor Laura. I will read your blog often. I have the feeling Mish was talking about me when she warned you about incurring the wrath of your readers who are waiting for an update, I have a very boring life and I need to be entertained by others. Is that a flaw???
