To the advertisers of Sunsweet Ones:
In your commercial, which promotes individually-wrapped prunes as a healthy snacking alternative, one woman unwraps your product, bites into it, and says, “The kids will think they’re eating candy!” I appreciate your efforts to encourage better eating habits in a country where obesity is the new bubonic plague, but please. No child is that stupid. Candy is candy. Prunes are gross*. Individual wrapping doesn’t change that.
Don’t worry, your inane ad campaign hasn’t cost you a customer; I’ve never bought anything from you anyway, nor ever planned to.
Sincerely,
L.R. Burt
*LR has never actually eaten a prune.

Sounds like someone may be a bit out of sorts, a bit bulked up, slightly… how shall I say it? …uncomfortable? Perhaps a prune or two would smooth out that uptight feeling. Clear your chache, in nerd lingo.

LOL No, I think I’m just fine!
