Honestly, I can't believe that Dale is pulling this BS. The pods you got were NOT the pods that were in the photo. The yellow brain strain are distinctive and YES there are some variations, however, if you have a yellow brain strain that is putting off pods like this, it is not a yellow brain strain. It is sad if this is the way things are going to go down in the future. He is pushing out a TON of pods and whether or not he is overpriced would be completely negated if the pods that you got were the right type.
King, you need to ask for your money back or replacement. Do not expect Dale to just offer it up, but you paid for Brain Strain pods and did not get them. If he is selling those as Brain Strain pods, then that in itself is wrong. PJ's photo is yellow brain strain, yours are not. Sorry about your problems, but you need to be the one to speak out.
