 Stale candy........:(

I purchased 6 rolls of "rolo" candies this morning on my way to work. I find that these brand of candy are best for me to snack on all day at work to help me stop smoking. I have been buying numerous rolls of rolo's for about a month now.
This morning's purchase really upset me deeply. I opened my first roll when I arrived at work and the candies were all white and I even tasted one and they taste very nasty to me. I eat them 5 days a week and know what they should taste like and was very, very furious. I had to toss out all 6 rolls I purchased. I called the gas station I bought them at and they informed me that I could not get a refund that I had to contact the maker of the candy.
I hope that you will either refund me my $6.90 that I pay EACH DAY of the work week (I'm seeking just one day refund for the bad candy) or send me coupons to purchase fresh ones. I appreciate your taking time to read my complaint. I also look forward to hearing from you about resolving the issue.

I don't like chocolate that has bloomed either. However, I do not
understand why you would throw them out and then expect to get a
refund or replacement. The candy company would want the production
numbers of the rolls and the store would want the product back. Hope
you get some resolution. Maybe you should switch to lollipops. Cheaper
and longer lasting.

I don't believe the research on that.
I think it's total nonsense or the study wasn't done correctly (maybe
biased researchers, failure to obtain a truly randomly selected
sample, data corruption, etc.)

The way it messes with your blood sugar can and DOES cause people to
eat more. When your blood sugar temporarily swings too far one way to
compensate for the rush of sugar (fooling your stomach for a short
time into thinking you're hungry), here come more carbs to appease
that appetite.
I gave up pop five days ago. I'm feeling nauseated and not hungry.
Day five, still sick. My coworker said it lasted three weeks for
her.
(I do love sugar, though!)

I'd quit buying these at gas stations and get them somewhere with
better storage conditions. Bloom is caused by heat exposure, and
while it doesn't always affect taste heat and cold cycling certainly
could.
You can order a full box, 36 rolls, on line from Amazon or several
other providers. The Amazon price is $28 for the whole box, plus
shipping - call it $34 total. That has to beat whatever the gas
station charges. (and before anyone asks, they're not sold directly
by Amazon so no you can't get their free shipping.)
