Dear Flava Puff,

 

 

I recently bought one of your products. Namely, Bucket “UH” Bears. You see, I am a moderately conservative fan of gummy bears, so I saw your bucket at a local pharmacy and decided to give ‘er a try.

 

Now when it comes to eating things, I have a hard time stopping. Once I start munching on something I will eat the whole bag, unless it’s not in a bag. In which case I will eat the whole container. So I rely heavily on serving sizes. However, to my great dismay your proclaimed “bucket of gummy bears” said, and I quote (I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP), “Serving Size: 1 serving.” Then it goes on to say how there are about 8 servings in that particular bucket.

 

Do you expect the consumer to sort the gummy bears into 8 equal piles before consuming them? Do you expect the consumer to remember how many “servings” have already been eaten? Because let’s say you already ate three servings. Then dividing the container into eight servings wouldn’t work anymore. You would have to remember, oh I ate three “servings” already. Then you would consult your calculus professor and he would yell at you for calling him in the middle of the night.

 

So please tell me what you define as a “serving.” I have already consumed 183 buckets of gummy bears and I physically cannot stop until I am told when the serving ends. I see a stomach ache coming. Do you manufacture Bucket “UH” Antacids?

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Dickinson
