[quote]A DARWIN man has opened a bag of chips and found only one inside.
The Northern Territory News reports Phil Jackson, 54, of Wanguri, brought the Cheese Rings to work with him on Monday.
When he opened the bag he was stunned to find it contained only one solitary ring - barely a mouthful.
"I was devastated," he said. "I put it down to the GFC - money's tight, times are hard."
The innocent snack attack victim had bought them in a large variety pack from a Coles supermarket.
Coles spokesman Jim Cooper said he would get a replacement pack.
"We certainly aren't in the business of giving people a single cheese ring in the packet," Mr Cooper said.
Mr Jackson was philosophical, saying the day before he had gone to KFC to get a five-piece wing pack, only to find six pieces inside.
"What you lose on the hurdy-gurdy you pick up on the roundabout," he said.[/quote]

Nice one.
How the fuck did he not notice this when he picked up the bag in the store?

That poor innocent man.
My prayers will go toward his family.
I doubt he was really shocked. He probably expected it what with the weight of the bag and all.
sounds like my mcdonalds scam.
buy a hamburger and fries
eat fries outside
come back and complain about missing fries
Hahaha, i'm in Darwin at the moment visiting my dad, the news here always has the most (intentionally) funny headlines and storeys.
One ring to rule them all.

I beg your pardon?

He bought it in a pack of several. Though how he didn't notice when he grabbed the ONE bag for work is beyond me. :v:

He might of been really sleepy when packing his lunch?
I'd be so confused. Honestly I'd first question whether or not I picked up the right bag or whatever. But you'd think he would have noticed something was up before he opened it.

Probably. I know with my last day-shift job I was a fucking zombie from 4AM to 9 AM at least. :v:
Reminds me of the time I went to the vending machine to get a Dr. Pepper, and it turned out the can was empty when I got it. Weird stuff.
I bought a video game once and there was no disc in it. It was a brand new game with the plastic wrapping on it. I had to argue with a Walmart employee for an hour and a half to get them to replace it.

It's amazing to think that companies don't have better quality control than that, especially when customers are very likely to take advantage of that shit.
"Uh, yeah, I like, bought this movie and there was, like, no disc in it."
"Are you sure, sir?"
"Uh... Yeah."
"We'll send you a new disc right away, sir."
*5-10 business days later*
"Hey man, that free disc come in yet?"
"Yup, here ya go man."
"Hey, my cousin wants one too, brah."
"Alright, lemme call 'em up again. XD"
I always knew this would happen. Every time I open a bag of chips there's more air and less chip inside. It never fails. Just day after day, every bag has less chips in it then the last. Pretty soon we'll be paying $1.50 for a bag of air with a possibility of it containing a micron of chip dust.

I hate this so much. As it is, a bag of chips is about 1/4 air, if not more.

:frogdowns:
This has happened to me but I didn't get news about it! :P
He's 54, isn't he a bit too old to be eating cheese rings?
Daaaaaw the fat man lost his cheese rings.
We certainly aren't in the business of giving people a single cheese ring in the packet
Is there a business of giving people single cheese rings then?
Lawsuit is unlikely because it is hard to prove it.
My mum found a sealed packed of rubber gloves in a walkers packet.
I read the title as "Man opens Three Rings, finds One."
For a second, I thought "Oh shit, Sauron's gonna get us all" :v:
