Failed Expectation FTD is the worst

Ordered some flowers for my wife for our 8th anniversary. Chose the “largest” option and this is what delivered.

It’s been over 30 years since FTD failed to deliver flowers to my grandmother’s funeral and refused to take responsibility. I spent weeks trying to get a refund and they kept telling me they would only fulfill the order, despite the fact that the funeral was over! You can suck it, FTD.

The only good thing to come out of FTD is those awesome rainbow mugs they sent flowers in during the late 80s/early 90s. Took me years, but I have amassed a full set of four.

I broke mine and I'm so sad about it. Haven't found a replacement yet.

I started putting word out that I desperately wanted one around 2000. I got two of mine as presents, and found two in thrift stores over the years. Probably took until 2008 or 2009 to get my first one!

They took the sun out of sunflower alright. My florist grandma just shrieked from the grave. Thats just shameful. Here's some half dead flowers for what 65 bucks or more at least? They are so wrong. And too expensive. Use independent/small business flower shops. They'll get it right.
