No humor

In the spirt of Ted L. Nancy’s Letters from a Nut, I sent off an email to M&M/Mars about Skittles.

They didn’t get it.

See for yourself.

Subject: Product Defect

To Whom it May Concern:

I recently purchased a package of Skittles with the factory code 331BY3 from the vending machine at work. I was disappointed when I tossed them in the air they did not explode into fireworks as shown in a recent television commercial. Are these Skittles defective? Or do I need to be in an outdoor area to get the fireworks effect? I would appreciate any and all suggestions in how to get my Skittles to function properly.

Thank You,

Nicholas Barnard
