Change the Name of Dairylea Triangles to Reflect their True Shape


Change the Name of Dairylea Triangles to Reflect their True Shape
The Issue
When I purchased a pack of 8 dairylea cheese "triangles" I was delighted until I opened the package and discovered to my abject horror that I was missold. These were not triangles at all! I discovered that there was not a single triangle inside that fateful package but only 8 woeful 3 dimensional shapes with a curved edge upon each and every one. This shape after much deliberation I determined could only be described as a cylindrical sector.
I can't help blaming myself for this terrible injustice. I lie awake at night thinking "I should have known they wouldn't be triangles, what was I thinking buying triangles in a cylindrical box!?". I know in my heart that is wasn't my fault, that I was cruelly cheated out of my hard earned £1 by these heartless scam artists, but the guilt will consume me always.
What horrifies me even more than my experience is that this company is marketing their product to young impressionable children! What are they teaching the next generation?! Will children in 20 years even know what a triangle is? Are they encouraging an entire generation to become deceptive scheming scammers misleading people into believing something that they know to be one shape to be another? I will not stand for this blatant brainwashing to be inflicted on our innocent children.
I think we can all agree as consumers that dairylea's marketing tactics are dishonest, deceitful, unethical and wholly unacceptable. I am planning to start a petition to dairylea to rename their cheese triangles and give them a more appropriate title such as "cheese wedges" "cheese cylinder sectors" or "cheese cylindrical sectors".
I also expect my £1 to be refunded in full and a letter of apology explaining why they decided to use such a misleading marketing ploy.
If you would like to make a difference to this noble cause please email dairylea directly to say "TRIANGLES MEANS TRIANGLES" and sign my petition.
Other than that they're delicious.
Thank you for reading. Let’s put this right!
