Once upon a time...
I got a Snapple cap w/ an incorrect Snapple Fact on it.
It was about the original airdate of the 1st Mr. Potato Head toy commercial. I knew it was wrong cause I worked for the agency that produced the original ad and they had a plaque commemorating the date...
So I called up Snapple to tell them they got it wrong.
I was transferred to department after department, where I was put on hold each time... and for a long time. I spent hours doing this. And finally, I was put in contact with the department in charge of the Snapple Facts...
I told the person on the other end that they got the Mr. Potato Head commercial fact wrong— and how I knew they were wrong.

And, after a long pause, the Snapple Fact person said...
“Okay. What do you want me to do about it?”

And I said, “I don’t know.”

And they hung up.

One of my resolutions for 2021 is to let go of shit like that.
