Feedback from a seriously devoted
Fleurieu Iced Coffee fan....

Dearest Fleurieu Milk Company,

For many years now I have been a loyal and happy customer of Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

When FU released the "Strong" version of their product, I was even more dedicated to accepting no substitute for my daily "beer alternative". Lord knows that the eastern states have no idea what it is they're doing when it comes to Iced Coffee.

I was stopping into the Aldinga Mobil on South Road most mornings for my Iced Coffee fix, and also would buy one from the vending machine at work daily.

Really, I was quite comfortable and happy with the way my relationship with FUIC was going and felt as though I was committed, 'in for the long haul', and nothing could break that bond.

Suddenly,and from out of no-where, the vending machine at work stopped stocking FUIC and began stocking your product.

Well!, it was like a sacrilege, I stood there with my mouth open, I just wanted to know why someone would do this to me? Why would someone want to take away my beloved strong iced coffee?. I was a broken man.

I must admit, the temptation was there, to plunge my dollars into the machine and just "suffice" with the assumed inferior product that replaced it but I could not betray my beloved FUIC, it would be cheating,un-faithful, somehow Un-South Australian.

It took me 2 days before I took the plunge to sample something other than what has been a staple in my diet for years as far as liquids go. It wasn't easy, and pressing the selection buttons on the vending machine made me feel guilty...and a little bit dirty.

It was however, short lived. Your product gave me something that FUIC could never give as it rolled over my tongue, coating my mouth with its tempting moreish taste.

It was a whole new experience, like taking a beautiful seductive mistress and loving it!

I found myself consuming up to 3 Fleurieu Iced Coffee's a day initially. My wife asked me why I was so hungry when I got home from work, I didn't dare tell her that my daily lunch consisted primarily of Fleurieu Iced Coffee.

At this point I knew I had a problem, my commitment to FUIC had wavered. I had infact cheated on FUIC and I didn't care, I had found something new, something refreshing. It was like my mouth was dancing naked in Iced Coffee rain like that guy from the 'singing in the rain' song.

It was Iced Coffee.

Occasionally I found myself going back to FUIC out of guilt, but it was never the same. It was too sweet, too sickly. It didn't have the flavour like Fleurieu Iced Coffee.

I had to break it off with FUIC, I just couldn't go on with it's sub-standard flavour.

Over 15 years I had built up and bonded with FUIC, for 15 years I was happy and content with my FUIC relationship.

Then YOU had to throw your seductive little minx into the mix didn't you!

Thanks for ruining my relationship with FUIC, Fleurieu Milk Company!

You Complete Masters of Milk!
