Snickers

Well here is my first post. I'm not sure where to start so I thought I'd just share a letter I sent to Snickers a few years back. The background for this letter is that I bought a Snickers bar from the grocery store and the bar was all white and flaky. Maybe you've seen old chocolate before--when it starts to turn white and all nasty. Well, I noticed it was pretty disgusting so I checked the expiration date and it was still good. So, I figured I'd write to Snickers and see if I could create enough of a hubbub to get something free... I don't know what exactly, maybe a certificate for a lifetime of free Snickers or something. Anyway, here's the letter.


To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in response to one of the saddest experiences of my young life. I have always looked to your fine products, Snickers bars in particular, as a source of culinary delight. Knowing this you can imagine my deep disappointment today when I painfully chewed my way through a pile of stale flaky chocolate sadly mislabeled as a Snickers bar. I truly hope you fire your quality control manager. Others should not be forced to experience such an anticlimactic experience. Tasting your sorry excuse for a confectionary was the sensory equivalent of learning there is no Santa Claus. Please take your jobs seriously, please improve your quality. I have always had a special place in my heart for your many worthy products. Please live up to the faith I have placed in you.

Regards,
Daniel Campbell

Looking back now I guess it wasn't all that funny. I only really like the Santa Claus line. Well, I guess its a start for my blog--albeit an inauspicious one.
