Seriously. Try this. Call the Nestlé Crunch Hotline at 1-800-295-0051. After they prompt as to whether or not you want English or Spanish, wait a few seconds. I recommend option 4.
That's pretty funny stuff there!!!

Yeah, I had to do it all by punching in the numbers. The voice activation is pretty touchy. If you laugh, you'll mess it all up.

I learned that I should have never waited this long to get an iPhone. This thing rocks! (duh). I'm open for recommendations on good apps too. Especially for good apps while in a plane for 12 hours.

Press 1 for your language first, then the funny stuff is on the next set of prompts.

I learned that my neighbor, James Woolard, is someone whose word is as worthless as the person itself. Carrying a badge and a gun doesn't make it any more a better person and any less a complete butthole.

The way I undertood your message was to wait and not select a language. It just said it couldn't understand me and repeated the opening over again. I then selected the language and got the options.

Weird. Yeah, the not selecting a language thing was how I did it.

Nevertheless, pretty good stuff.

After arriving in the U.S., young Chaim Witz took the name Eugene Klein (later Gene Klein), Klein being his mother's maiden name. In the late 1960s, he changed his name to Gene Simmons to honor legendary rockabilly performer Jumpin' Gene Simmons.[5]
