Rice Dream Moca Pies FTW!
4/2/08 Update: Did I say something…? “George” from Hain-Celestial sent me a canned snail mail in response to the e-mail below. Totally expected. But inside were 3 coupons… for .55 off… of a specialty Rice Dream product line that I have never seen in stores. And I have several super-hippie-vegan stores in my area. If that’s not a backhanded “take your free pies and shove em’”, I don’t know what is. Anybody want a whopping .55 off your next purchase of Rice Dream Supreme (which may or may not actually exist IRL)? As Geoffrey Jellineck’s landlord would say, while doing thusly to yonder useless coupons, “crumple, crumple, crumple”.
Time for a positive letter to a company. One that I love for this particular product…
Hello Imagine/Hain-Celestial, Inc… I wanted to tell you how much that I and my partner love your Rice Dream Mocha Pies. (We have the mint flavor sometimes, too.) They are everything that we dream of in a dessert; delicious, vegan, low GI sweetened, very affordable, and mocha flavor is amazing, too. An expansion in the use of organic ingredients would be wonderful. An organic mocha pie would probably be heaven. I would seriously buy stock in your company. (Not sure if that’s even possible…) Anyway, those pies have brought us both a bit of happiness and we wanted to say thanks. So… thanks!
Please don’t ever change. Well, I’m sure you’ll find ways to improve, but please keep Rice Dream Mocha Pies the same forever and ever. They are PERFECT. And in the words of David Cross, “In closing, please send as many free products as possible”. Hah hah. (But that would be OK.)
I signed off “Your Biggest Pie Fans”. lawls!!1 Sometimes I do OK stuff.
So uh… are you feeling inspired to write to anyone now?
That was superior-ly OK. High-flying OK. Higher than the Dream of Rice Ok :))
ps. Hain Celestial are a public company. So yeah you could buy stock. If yr all down with that of course ;)
