| 65. But you don't know that. I did check the link. |
|
And I DID call BAM. The person I talked to could not tell me they were NOT retailing this product.
The person tannybogus talked to earlier said THEY WERE selling the product.
Maybe you need to calm your horror down and get more information.
|
| -Books-a-Million is selling "Obama Waffles". Time to let them know that you'll be shopping elsewhere. |
