Since I've been having MOCs I've had every problem a normal fulfilment agency experiences  -sent prizes to the wrong address (I sent a substitute prize) had stuff break...Anyway, this time-The MOC is for a bowl (got that), ham bag (check) but guess what, every single store in town is out of sweet potato biscuit mix.  Too little supply and too much demand. I'm going to Shallotte tomorrow to get my glasses and will look for it there, if I still can't find any do I offer the winner a substitute prize of equal value, cash value or just let the winner decide?  Its normally readily available, but soon as I have an MOC for it, it vanishes... |

I would say - discuss it with the winner.
If I were the winner, I would just be happy to win.

SH** Happens!  I know you feel bad about it but it should not be that big of a deal. I would say find something along the same theme of equal or greater value to put in its place. It is not a big ticket item so I do not think anyone that wins would mind too much. I would think the lucky member that wins would just be happy about the win! I know I would. Besides, we are all friends here ,aren't we? I am sure whatever you decide to do will be just fine. |

That is the theory  -but given how upset some folks seem to get , I'm afraid if I do not find those biscuits today, my bones will be found in small unmarked grave outside of Tijuana... |

I have known Ken for many years and he has some nice enforcers who would put them in their place. You should have the items before you start the contest. Stop worrying and enjoy life. I bet they will say, SEES, give me, please. I do not eat Sees as it has too many allergens and stuff. |

I'm not sure what other allergens you have to avoid but at least they are good about gluten... In response to your request for information about the presence of gluten in our candies, our Quality Assurance Manager has advised that we have reformulated our products and eliminated wheat as a direct ingredient in all of our candies packed in standard boxes. Some of our packaging for our Awesome Candy Bars still lists flour (wheat) however this is no longer the case. We also do not use rye, barley, oats or malt as ingredients in our candies. Therefore, none of our Custom Mix pieces contain gluten as a direct ingredient and cross contact is no longer a possibility. This would include our Peanut Brittle, Krispys, and our recently introduced Sugar Free products.
You may have noticed that we do have some products which are manufactured for us. Some of these items that do not contain gluten are our Milk Chocolate Drops, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Foil Novelties, Sugar Sticks and Sour Chews. As we've noted, most of our products are gluten free.
However, we do have a few items which our Quality Assurance Department does not consider to be gluten free because of their decorations or they are produced in a facility that processes gluten. These are decorated Chocolate Butters (decoration), Springtime Truffles (decoration), Egg Nog Truffles (decoration), all Climber Canes, Puppet Canes and Candy Canes, and the 3 oz. Bordeaux, Chocolate Walnut, and Dark Raspberry Hearts (decorations). Also, all of our decorated Easter Eggs may contain gluten because of their decorations. The only decorated Easter Eggs that would not contain gluten are our 9.5 oz. decorated Rocky Road Egg and our 13.5 oz. decorated Chocolate Butter with Pecans Egg.
In addition to the information above, we wish to advise that the distilled apple cider vinegar used in our Butterscotch Lollypops and Little Pops is grain based." Ian Dickie, See's Candies Customer Service

Don't worry about it chickie! The bowl itself is beautiful, and anything else with it is a bonus. Now, if you were at another site, the response would probably be "burn the bi**h at the stake". By the way, I thought you were dead?  |

I'm with ping here. Frack these people who are so concerned about small stuff. If someone doesn't like what is given away, they don't have to enter the MOC or eat the stuff, fer gawd's sake. As for myself...I don't care about glutens, or msg, or bits of peanuts, or milk products in the food, etc. I'd be happy just to get something to eat.  |
