Puregate. And the great Pure Giveaway!


By Skint Vegan (Visit website)



So many of you were interested in my little kerfuffle with Pure that I thought I'd better let you know what happened.
After my initial email, I got a really polite email back asking me for the dates on my tub of Pure spread and my contact details. A week later, I received a really polite letter back from Pure's customer services manager telling me that my feedback was appreciated and had been passed on to the quality manager at the Pure factory, and as they were so dismayed I had disliked their cream cheese-style spread, please find enclosed a voucher... for one purchase of cream cheese-style spread or cheese-style slices.
As I live in bfn it goes without saying trying to find these mythical cheeze slices has been fruitless. And as the entire reason for my complaint was the fact I didn't like the cheese-style spread... well, ha-ha, Pure, very good!
So, being the altruistic sort I am, and as we're nearing the season of goodwill I've decided the only thing I can do is Pay-it-forward. Young Treehugger mentioned after my last post that she'd also tried the execrable Pure spread and only managed to make it palatable by combining it with a wad-load of pesto. She questioned whether she should complain also. I say - hell, yeah! Complain! We Brits are the slackest of the bunch when it comes to complaining about poor products or service and as the Sosmix and Swedish Glace debacles proved, when the vegans unite, we really can make a difference. So, I'm going to take my generously proffered voucher and buy a carton of Pure Creamy spread that one of you lucky readers is going to win! My only proviso? You must review it here at Skint Vegan Towers. If you like it, let us all know. If you think it's as shiteous as I've been maintaining for a good few posts now, let us all know. And while you're at it, let Pure know, so if you get an equally useless voucher as compensation you can Pay-it-Forward as well... and so on and so forth. And maybe, if enough of us complain, they may change their spread recipe to make it a palatable alternative to tofutti. And the beauty of it is, you won't even have to part with your money for it.
Are we liking this idea? I think so! Obviously, this is only open to readers in the UK and Ireland as Pure is an Irish-based company and I don't believe they've crossed the water just yet. So, c'mon guys, I don't care if you blog, lurk or have just accidentally stumbled across my blog, if you want a chance to become the next maligned Pure creamy-style spread reviewer, leave me a comment to let me know you're up for the challenge and, darling, I'll sort you out! *wink-wink*
NB: lest we forget, I am not hating on Pure as a company, as I still believe their dairyfree margarines are the best in the UK market.
