Irish Spring Update

Well, the folks over at Irish Spring finally got back with me. It seems they just don't give a rip about my experience and decided not to divulge their extent of testing.

Here's what they did do:
Substitute my country of origin for some other country "over there"
Ignore my use of the English language and assume I don't "Hable"
Assume that if this guy's from "over there", Hong Kong and Japan speak the same language; the language of non-English

Here's the response:


Dear Mr Slim

company and our products is greatly appreciated.

Well let me just say, Laura, when it comes to customer service, you've dropped the soap.

Here's the original letter to Irish Spring

So, the question now is, "Do I pursue this matter and inform Irish Spring that they dropped the soap on this one" or let it go and focus my attention on new posts?

The comment board is open, please let me know what you think.

Well well well...The mental giant Tyo duking it out verbally with the corporate juggernaut of Irish Spring.

Still though you had a valid request in wanting to understand the implications of that irish spring gushing into your eye sockets and what it could mean for you and all the unfortunate people who had their fun spoiled by the reluctantly fiendish chemists at Colgate.

Seeming as how the Hong Kong office is now under communist control you should be expecting a knock on your door any moment now from two strong arms defending the corporate secrets of the Irish Spring.

PS got extremely bored tonight so I decided to follow the link to your new blog site. "Q"

Your fault for giving me the address to the original =P

Take it easy Tie o
