We have become addicted to Tassos garlic and jalapeno stuffed olives. They are great when you want a fast bang of flavor in your mouth. Also wonderful to eat just before talking to someone you don't like!
We don't order them from that link, that is just so you can see what I am talking about.
So, when ordering them, we order 3-4 bottles at a time, cheaper and they last forever, not that we would know because we go through a bottle a month.
The bottles come carefully double wrapped in bubble wrap and a very sturdy cardboard box. They aren't going to break by knocking against each other.
Living out in the sticks, the major shipping companies often hand packages off to the USPS, who gives them to contract carriers who use their own vehicles to deliver the mail. This is common and normal.
Yesterday, our last shipment arrived and was hand carried to our door by the local mail carrier who had put the crushed box in several garbage bags. Somehow, the box clearly had been crushed in delivery and they had received the box from FDX that way.
The package handlers tossed these very fragrant garlic and jalapeno, brine soaked green olives into a semi-truck along with many other boxes and crushed them. Allowing the liquid to slowly seep out of the packaging and onto all the surrounding boxes. Next that box got labeled "damaged" and loaded into a delivery truck. Finally, it ended up in someone's private vehicle.
Carelessness, the gift that kept giving. Sadly, the guys who did the damage didn't have to deal with the smell.
I am a very evil person because I am all
thinking about the looks on all those poor innocent people who had to smell that leaking, probably fermented box during its journey to our trash can.
