So, we are sitting here eating our fabulous salads for dinner and I happen to look at the Ranch bottle, there is a 800 number on the bottle that you can comment, suggest, ask questions or ask for recipes. I was thinking that wouldn't it be funny to call and ask them for all of their recipes? Have you ever called a product phone line? If you have, what for?

I called the pectin company, I needed a jam recipe and they mailed it to me. That was the first time, I had ever done that, they were so nice and was amazed that the recipe was given to and how quick it came, I known many who call, but I am not one that usually do that.

See, I am bad I guess, I love American Idol and I text vote for them every year. I love it, usually the people I text go through to almost the end or the end. Not all ways the winner but at least the end. Its fun to see the results of who will or will not make it, its me

I often see this numbers in products I bought from grocery stores but never attempted to call any of them. Maybe I should try calling just to give my opinion on the product i bought. At least they would know if I like it or not, or if I'm satisfied with the product itself.

With the wonders of the internet, I seldom call those 800 numbers on products. There have been a few times I've called inquiring about a coupon or to give my 2-cents on a product but not often.

That is a good idea, I really should start doing that.

I do it all the time, for praising or complaining. The company likes feedback. Alot of times they will ask for your address and send great coupons just for contacting them.

No, I've never called one of those numbers, and I've never voted for any reality TV shows, either. I'd look up recipes on the internet if I wanted them, because then you can print them out. If you phone up for them, you'd have to sit there with a pen and write them down!

I know but I was just joking. I have never voted for reality shows either, I don't watch them. There is enough reality right here at home!

There have been times when I hae called the numbers sown on products just to offer opinions. When I really like something, or i I have a major problem with something I will not hesitate o call the numbers.
