You Tell'em Randy!

[quote name='Consumerist.com']Enraged by Jimmy Dean reducing the size of their sausage from 16 oz to 12 oz but still charging the same price, Randy Taylor left a voicemail complaint on Jimmy Dean corporate line. Randy has a southern accent and is quite upset with the Jimmy Dean sausage company. He threatens to never buy, and never eat, Jimmy Dean sausage again until they go back to making sausage like they used to. Click above to hear it (warning: curse words). How good an idea is this all-too common price-chiseling if it turns 30-year fans into boycotters?[/quote]
 
:rofl:

Oh, man. The ending is the best when he (I assume) thinks he hung up the phone, and continues bitching to his wife about it. :lol:
 
Are these those breakfast logs of sausage with the little metal twists on the ends? I always buy them in the preshaped patties, I'm probably getting royally ripped off.

And how the hell did this get leaked?
 
[quote name='yukine']Pretty funny, but at least the guy is reasonable.

"fuck I'm going to eat, god damnit." :rofl:[/QUOTE]

And that's why he's gonna buy TWO 12 oz packages.......... the man's gotta eat right?

Actually, he's going to make his own sausage. :lol:
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']In texas, they like em big![/QUOTE]

A Texan goes into a bar in New York City. He's dressed to the gills in Texan gear - boots, hat, belt with a huge buckle, you name it. He pulls up to the bar and orders a beer.

A woman notices him and asks where he's from. "Texas, ma'am," he replies.

She notices his hat, so he lets her try it on. It falls well past her eyes and ears. "It's so big!" she exclaims. "Yes ma'am. Texas sized."

After giving the hat back, she asks about his boots. Same thing - they dwarf her tiny feet. "Texas sized."

The night progresses and they continue to hit it off. She can't believe his stories any more than she can the size of his belt buckle. They continue to have drinks and finally decide to leave to her apartment.

After some kissing, they begin to undress. When he finally removes his pants, she is shocked at him. "Texas sized, ma'am."

So he pumps it a few times in her, stops, and rolls onto his back.

"So, ma'am, what part of Texas are you from?"

Edit: This thread reminds me. Did anything come of the Cadbury Creme Egg debacle when B.J. Novak (Ryan from The Office) pointed out on Conan O'Brien how much smaller they've gotten?
 
[quote name='neocisco']If JD is charging the same price for a product 25% smaller than I don't blame him for being upset.[/QUOTE]
In all seriousness, there is a "hidden" inflation in the economy reflected in this practice. I've noticed lots of products with less volume in the same packaging, often at an slightly-increased price.
 
"I eat my Jimmy Dean with my southern breakfast, with my fried eggs and t-bone steak..."

Sounds like a really healthy breakfast. He's been doing this for 30 years? Where's the heart attack?

He also says he's willing to pay more for the larger size... so why doesn't he just by 2 of the 12oz cans??? Then he and his 600lbs of men and 2 plump ladies will have even more than they were used to, a whole additional 8 ozs!
 
I can see another part of it going...

"An' yo'll shud renam 'em Jim Crow Sausages. That a man I cud look up to!"

:)

"I can't feed a family on 12 oz. I don't mind paying more, but I will not buy two".

What the fuck?! Why can't he buy two?!

My favorite part has to be that the family eats a couple dozen eggs for breakfest! They eat dozens of eggs for breakfest and only a pound of sausage! My family of four would eat a pound and we weren't as huge as these guys!

Since people have been eating this way in the south and living until ripe old ages, I think its safe to say genetics plays a huge part in what will, or wont, kill you. See: Olympic class athletes dropping stone cold dead in the middle of a trip to the grocery store, etc.
 
I found this thread by using the search engine for Jimmy Dean, because I just went to filecabi and seen this video and if people hadn't heard that call yet, then I was gonna post it. That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.
 
I think what he meant by saying he doesnt mind paying more for the 16 oz but he's not buying 2 is that, he wouldnt mind paying a little extra for the 4 ozs but he doesnt wanna pay double the price for just 8 ozs more than what he normally buys.

but that was funny as hell to listen to.

"they put those 12 ozs in that little pussy ass package"

As a Texan who moved to Manhattan, lived there for over 5 years, then moved back I can't tell you just how true that is, well, the general size of folks down here compared to up there.

90% of the men up there are like little dwarves, with thin femme fingers and features. I'm only 6' and I tower over most crowds (and not just walking down canal, hah).

As for cowboy boots- yankees love 'em. In fact, these real funny italian guys would always be seen wearing steel capped pointed (aka: sissy-wear) boots, with their long pony tails. Never understood that, but was always amusing to spot them, and you could easily every day.

The other thing I remember is at the 2 jobs I held up there everyone was amazed with Texans. One job I was the only American, and when my co-workers learned I was from Texas I was subjected to the daily "here comes the killer...killer man!" (in thick euro accents).

Of all my friends back here in Texas now I'm the shortest, and even my g/f is the same height as I am (without her heels).

Interesting. I've lived here all my life, been to NYC twice. But I'm a small guy so I imagine I don't carry the same impact. Plus you couldn't get me in any kind of stereotypical cowboy/Texas attire to save your life.

Maybe I just need to be more clear about it and call everyone a yankee.

You're from Texas? Can you make your own sausage?
 
[quote name='Stoneage']You're from Texas? Can you make your own sausage?[/QUOTE]

I'm not a valid representation of our country-at-large, I'm afraid, as I hinted above.

Yes. Texas is a country. Or at least it might as well be.

I mean, I can make sausage. After I go to the store and buy it.
