Today I purchased a package (9 oz.) of frozen SeaPak(R) "Jumbo Breaded

Anyone who purchases such a product deserves any disappointment they
get. �Did you think there were going to be 2 dozen 12 count shrimp in

You don't get it... when you buy "Jumbo Breaded Shrimp" you are buying
shrimp with jumbo breading. If you want breaded jumbo shrimp then buy
"Breaded Jumbo Shrimp", You did not get ripped off, you got exactly
what you paid for. If you feel ripped off that's entirely your own
fault... because you can't read... advertising agents pander to
functionally illiterate dumb douchebags like you.
