Izzy did not specify whether the nature of her complaint would be regarding punctuation or pun quality. I hope she gives them hell on both counts.
Izzy was less than impressed when she noticed an error on the wrapper of her P-p-p-penguin.

I was about to eat this scrummy-looking Penguin bar when I noticed that there was a mistake. The answer, by the way, is 'Iceburg-ers'. Needless to say, this Penguin bar is about to be sent back to the company with a complaint.In addition to the apostrophe abuse, the capital 'P' suggests that Penguin bars are coming to life and eating things.
