I’m surprised of your surprise.

There may have been some setting during shipping.

An example of modern business promotion.

…like trying to buy a pound can of coffee.

Some surprise – - – -

I hate to complain but I’m going to complain but I’ll hate it for the whole time.

Well, I’m not surprised. They don’t do that anymore, darn it!

Remember the records that use to be on cereal boxes?

An uncle I know used to tell his very young niece, “The surprise is, there’s no surprise!” She usually didn’t take it well.

Sue for false advertising!

I was surprised there were no horses in horseradish, roses in rosemary or lights in light beer.

Ah – I remember those days well! Mom finally had to institute a rule that neither my brother or I could put our hands into the box to Prematurely snag the prize. It had to “land” in our bowl. We’d devour an entire box, singlehandedly, just to get the prize!
