It's very slow here today. I've finished all my work and Chiquita took the afternoon off. So what do I do when I'm bored at work? I turn into a Very Concerned Consumer.
The following companies/people received letters from me today.
1.) CVS Pharmacy. I bought their brand of lotion with SPF 15 to give my cancer prone skin a little extra protection during the day and it ended up being sunscreen in a lotion pump bottle. It actually smells, feels, and goes on like sunscreen. Which means I smell like sunscreen and my arms are greasy without the benefit of being at the beach.
2.) Burt's Bees. I tried some of their shampoo and conditioner for a few days and it made my hair feel like I stuck it in Vaseline.
3.) Rachel's Yogurt. I saw this product at Sprouts and had to get it because my name was written all over it. Literally. Can you believe they named a yogurt after me? I'm super flattered. Anyway, it's yummy and I wanted to thank them for not putting my name on something gross.
4.) My state senators. I saw on the news this morning that they were locked in the state capitol until the budget is signed. I suggested that maybe their paychecks should be locked in the vault until the budget is signed also. I may have used the phrase, "Stop being such babies and SIGN IT!"
I will not be silenced!
Heck no you won't be silenced! That's what this blog is sayin' to the world.
ReplyDeleteI used to feel like that about Little Debbie snack cakes, until I realized they were little conveniently, cellophane-wrapped, heart attacks nicely packaged and placed just about eye-level...it went from, "Oh, I hope my boyfriend thinks of me when I put these in his car *blush*" to "Oh, I hope my ex-husband eats a lot of these before his insurance money runs out *veins throbbing*"....no...I kid...sorta....yogurt is a way better food....physically and spiritually....
can you please write a letter to obama for me, letting him know that i think the price tag is just a teensy bit high?
ReplyDeleteI love that you write letters. It came in handy when we were roommates and you found a receipt in the bottom of your cup of soda and you wrote a nasty letter to the pizza place, and they sent you coupons for free pizza. Of course, I think that's when we switched to Papa Johns. Now I want to know if they sell Rachel's yogurt here, because I would love to fill my fridge with something delish with my name on it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I write letters a work, too. I wrote Rold Gold to tell them how much I like their Honey Wheat Pretzel twists, and they sent me two coupons.
ReplyDeleteI'm still on a Wendy's boycott because they refuse to respond to my letter about the shoddy treatment I received at the Harold Square location.
I try to write a letter to the good folks at Toblerone once a year where I shamelessly brown nose them in hopes that they will send me free samples. No luck yet.
