Calling Manufacturers

For those of us who make many calls to manufacturers (many of which can be very frustrating and time consuming), here's one manufacturer call that should lighten your day. If you have a free minute...

Call the Nestle Hot line at 1-800 295-0051.

When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish wait quietly for 10 seconds and you will smile. :rolleyes:

Choose option 4. Then choose an option to your liking.

It would be so nice if all of our manufacturer calls could be this fun! :)

Yeah, someone posted this in another section. Apparently it's gotten quite popular, tried to dial so my uncle could hear the other day and it was busy.

Oh I don't think that would be any fun!

I'm sure it's most enjoyable if you're...oh about 10, but that goes to show you how sophisticated my sense of humor is!

I am almost 40 and most of my friends are my age. We all thought it was hilarious. It's worth hitting redial for a few minutes to get through. But you HAVE to be quiet after the English/Spanish question b/c it's voice activated in addition to having the touchpad options. And if you laugh out loud, it may restart the menu options! :-)

I was intrigued enough to call from Australia. So glad I did, it made me laugh out loud. Very cute idea :-)

This made me smile... haha. Such a genius idea. (= Stinks that they're getting rid of it though... but 2.1 million calls! That's pretty intense.

Woohoo! Tried again and got through today. Thanks for not telling -- I was taken off guard! Loved it. It will only be up for 2 more days!

Too bad they're taking it down. I could kill a lot of time in waiting rooms or between classes calling that menu. :lol:

That was a classic!! Does anyone remember the how to link this new fun on your Facebook page. I was so excited to have gotten thru, I didn't have my "listening cap" on.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
