My experience with AIM (artificial infant milk/
"formula") manufacturers and their underhanded
advertising tactics...

About 4 to 6 weeks after my youngest was born (and
thriving solely on Mama's milk), I received an
unsolicited box in the mail of THREE FULL-SIZE CANS of
powdered AIM.  I was stunned.  Sort of like when you
are going through your day, and encounter someone who
does something so unspeakably rude it leaves you
speechless.  I donated them to a local emergency
shelter and figured that was the end of it.

Then, at the 4 to 5 month mark, I got another
UNSOLICITED box of another 3 full-size cans!  I marked
it "Refused--Return to Sender" and sent it back.  I
still get envelopes full of coupons for infant
products, and the babes are pre-school/kindergarten
age!

The enemy never rests (smirk).
