To Whom It May Concern:
I adore pistachios and eat them regularly as a snack. I tend to buy the Sunkist brand pistachios because I recognize the Sunkist brand as a quality product.
I recently purchased a bag of pistachios from my local Albertsons and enjoyed the entire bag over the course of a few days.
Imagine my dismay when I went to open the last one and found a dead maggot inside. A. DEAD. MAGGOT. (I’ve attached a photo of the label, pistachio shell and maggot in question.)
Now, I’m very happy I saw the maggot before I put it in my mouth, but I am now recalling the myriad of pistachios I did not look at before popping the shells open and tossing the contents into my mouth and frankly, I’m freaking the H out.
I realize that even if I did eat a dead maggot or two, my physical health is not really at risk as I’m sure your pistachios have been roasted to the point of killing all living things and what the heat didn’t kill, the salt certainly did. I also recognize that there are several countries in which maggots are a delicacy. However, I have not chosen to visit any of those countries, nor do I intend to do so, being perfectly content to explore the range of delicacies my local supermarket provides.
So, while my physical health is not at risk, my mental health is demanding that I write you this letter with the hope that this sort of thing will never happen again.
Sincerely,
Jerilyn

I was eating pistachios when I read this. EW! I hope you really wrote the letter to them.

Life seems to be so monotonous. In fact, we humans tend to set a routine for ourselves so that we can better ourselves with each passing day. Getting up in the morning, trying to do our set jobs, trying to meet deadlines, striving hard for survival, but in all this we tend to forget one thing that we are here to live each day to the fullest extent as tomorrow never comes. Life is to be lived once and therefore we should learn how to balance our lives so that tomorrow we do not regret about the fact that for ages we just kept on working hard without enjoying life. Enjoying life is not a great task. One should know how to enjoy life. When I say that enjoying life is important I do not mean to say that one should run away from his or her responsibilities. No not at all, in fact, one should live up to the responsibilities and then enjoy life with their loved ones. One such amazing and easily accessible way to enjoy life with your loved ones is by getting blue world pools installed at your place.
Now you must be thinking what this whole thing about blue world pools is. Blue world pools are nothing but dealers of swimming pools that let you enjoy the ambience of a swimming pool in your back yard. Blue world pools basically help you to get their swimming pool installed at your backyard. Blue world pools are one of the most trusted swimming pool manufacturers and installers. Through ages, they have provided customers with the best and the most hygienic swimming pools. The best part with blue world pools is that their services are highly trustworthy and once you become a customer with them, the people of blue world pools are sure to deliver the best services to you.
There are n numbers of advantages that you and your family members can draw by getting blue world pools installed at your place. The foremost advantage is that you can relax at your pool after you come back from a tiring day at the office. In fact, the best part is that you can enjoy a great swimming session with your family and friends and at the same time, you can even arrange for a small poolside party for your family members and your friends. Moreover, you can even go in for the various water exercises to keep yourself fit and fine. After a day’s work, no one actually wants to go to a gym and work out. Therefore, you can always come back and enjoy a good work out session at your own personalized
Blue world pool. You can even spend time with your children in the weekends by indulging in some fun water games. This will not only make them happy but will also give you a chance to be with them.
Buying a swimming pool requires the investment of a good amount of hard cash. Somehow, if you feel that you want to install a pool at your place but you are short of cash, blue world pools will give you the chance of getting their swimming pool installed. How, well you can always opt for the easy financing schemes that they provide to their customers. These financing schemes are easy and can be paid in easy installments. Therefore, I can tell you that why think more, just try blue world pools and give yourself some of the best moments of your life.

The pistachio incident - just happened to me. It was about 1/4 of the way down in the pistachio bag, and there it was, dead maggot - maggot poop, you get the picture. The rest of the 3/4 of the bag are in the trash can. Along with the $10 I paid for the nuts. So much for my love for pistachios.
