Subject: Follow-up on fruit cocktail

I made that fruit cocktail post on October 7. On October 10, I bought three cans of brand name fruit cocktail so as to avoid the inferior store brand. The brand name had changed its label and had gone to a heavier can. I'm not sure I can prove this, but I think they're putting in less fruit.

Also, the second can contained shriveled grapes, some of which had brown spots on them. One grape still had a stem attached.

Now, I don't know what happened here, but I cannot justify paying 38 more cents for defective fruit (and getting less of it). You can be sure I'll monitor this situation and report my findings. If the quality continues to decline, I may even reveal the brand.
