I can't hold this in any longer. I have no one to rant about this to and i kinda wanna get the word out there on this company also. I used to want to get the word out on this company in a GOOD WAY, but they single handedly changed that.

An earlier post regarding Pure-fit's chocolate brownie bar prompted me to write to Mr Dorf of Pure-fit (my email in the linked thread). In a lovely example of how not to correspond with the public, Mr Dorf sent me the following (bereft of salutation) amendment of his earlier stock response:
