Harry & David makes a big public relations mistake

My sister likes Harry & David. Years ago our Aunt Jessie used to send us fruit boxes for gifts from the company, ironic since we lived on apple ranches.
We were talking about Christmas gifts and my sister mentioned she had a Harry & David catalog. I looked at the company’s website.
We both thought the lobster pot pie for $50 looked great. We were going to buy them for each other. However, I changed my mind since the lobster pie has a hint of cayenne. I’m allergic to pepper, so I thought that might be a problem.
