I guess you could say it traumatized you at an earlier time. But you seemed so well adjusted, by attempting to insult the mentally ill by calling me, "nuts". Where's the racist robot in Star Tours? I've never noticed that one. I think you are just jealous that you didn't come up with the free tortillas idea. MASECA!!!!

Calling you "nuts" is very offensive to the mentally ill. I'll go call my aunt and apologize to her. Perhaps I can send her a bag of tortillas to show how sorry I am. >>>I think you are just jealous that you didn't come up with the free tortillas idea.<<< Oh yes, very jealous of the possibility of you getting $4 worth of tortillas for free.

Originally Posted By crazycroc When the recession hits, and I have my coupons for free tortillas, you will all be very, very sorry. But don't worry, much like the grasshopper and the ants, I will invite IEguy over to enjoy a delicious Mission brand tortilla. Unfortunately, all this bickering has kept me from working on my next paragraph to Mission. MASECA!!!!

Less cost to ship, since they have their own delivery trucks and vans. Guererro is a national brand...or at least, a California brand, because I've seen them everywhere in CA.

Originally Posted By crazycroc As long as Jimmy isn't in the pre-show of their Tortilla factory tours, I think we'll be okay. I have written the second and third part of my letter to Mission, but I am reposting the whole of what I have so far. Dear sir or madam; I'm writing today to inform you of a recent unpleasant experience I had with your product. I recently attended Disney's California Adventure Park in Anaheim and participated in the Mission Tortilla Factory Tour. While I did enjoy the free tortilla at the end of the tour, I have to say that the video shown in the lobby, featuring "Jimmy", left a sour taste in my mouth. {here's the new part} While I'm sure the intent of the "Jimmy" character is to provide an infusion of light-hearted fun into the attraction, I feel that his performance is a bit over the top. I found his mocking of the process of making tortillas to be disheartening and disrespectful to the Central American cultures from which the tortilla is derived. In addition to this,I find the maniacal look that Jimmy has on his face as he eats a tortilla to be,in a word, disturbing. I am asking you to reconsider the placement of this film at the beginning of the "Mission Tortilla Factory Tour at Disney's California Adventure", as I feel that "Jimmy" is an inaccurate representation of the type of organization that Mission has proven to be. I understand that my request may be unusual, but I hope that you can find it in your heart to honor it. I am also requesting two dozen complimentary tortillas be delivered via certified mail as a gesture of goodwill on the part of the Mission organization. I feel that two dozen free tortillas is a small price to pay for the suffering I have endured due to "Jimmy" and would serve as a convenant for my continued patronage of your product, and would also, in essence "keep my mouth shut" about the "Jimmy issue". You may also include other fine Mission Tortilla products at your discretion. Thank you for your consideration of my requests. Best, Crazycroc

I started reading your letter in the mindset of "if I was a Mission exec, how would I feel about this?" As soon as I got to "I am also requesting two dozen complimentary tortillas be delivered via certified mail as a gesture of goodwill on the part of the Mission organization," the letter would hit the circular file. It sounds like a shakedown. You'd stand a much better chance at the free food if you just complained about Jimmy. That MIGHT get you a letter saying "We're sorry you feel that way about Jimmy. Other customers have found the presentation to be delightful. But we're glad you're a devoted Mission customer, and hope you enjoy these free tortillas with our compliments." Or it might find the circular file anyway. But if ye ask - ye shall not receive.
