UK Carrot Stick Kafuffle Goes Viral

Arron Swift opened his first tweet in a series on Carrot Sticks with the scene-setter: “As some will know, I am somewhat a carrot aficionado and it has to be said these Tesco batons re the worst.”

And, after a brief interval, a Tesco representative tweeted back: “Hi Aaron, I’m really sorry you don’t enjoy our carrots 🙁 Would you mind elaborating on the issue via DM? – Laura”

So began Swift’s elaborate effort to illustrate the deficiencies of said carrot Sticks. His efforts resulted in the following multimedia display…

of carrot Sticks to be ‘decent’.

The Tesco rep responded by offering Swift a refund for his unsatisfactory Carrot batons and invited him to give a lecture on the ins and pouts of Carrot Sticks to Tesco produce buyers.

Case Closed!
