Xoxide is hitting on me

Come share in the lovin!

Quote:
Baby, when we said we were leaving, we didn't really mean it. It was crazy talk. We weren't thinking straight. We must have ingested too much caffeine . We'll never do it again, Sugarbear, we swear. Please, take us back. We'll do anything. We'll give you 5% off any purchase, big or small, whatever you want, Muffincakes. What? 5% isn't good enough? How about 7%? No, no, we know we have to make this up to you. Ok, 10%! Yes, 10% off anything you want, Snugglebunny.

And you know what? We've grown in this time apart. Yes, we're a better website than you remember. We moved out of that place you didn't really like, the one with the cathodes thrown all over the floor and cases stacked in every corner and into spiffy new digs. We added some new products and even more are coming soon. Remember how we didn't like your international friends before and wouldn't let them order? We've changed! We love them now! We'll ship to them anywhere in the world with really fast service!

We need you! We aren't the same without you! So come back to your one and only Xoxide.com today and don't forget to use coupon code "comeback." If you have ideas for what else we can do to make you love us even more, we want to hear from you !

Yes, Xoxide went under and had a massive liquidation sale, all the while selling their entire store on an auction site. The buyer has now resumed operations of the store, and this is their way of getting the word out that they're back

Completely off topic, but that quote by mussels is a classic, without "," between eat and poop it actually means he eats poop te he he.

Oh yeah it would be useful to see if it's the same coupon code. Most likely as no number...

I don't know, I see punctuation in the rest of his quotes, you sure you aren't just hiding the truth that you let slip before?

This is odd to say the least. For what it's worth to you (which probably isn't much) yours was far from a typical experience for a Xoxide customer. And now there's new owners/management perhaps you can try again.
