BETTY CROCKER

Betty,


When I was younger my mother made "chipped beef". What is this?
I bet you were the best mother in the world Mrs. Crocker. Did you make your fine recipes for your children? I imagine that you look like Barbara Bush.

Yours in God,

Joam

RESPONSE: Anheuser Busch

Hello Joam,


Thanks for your recent e-mail. I appreciate you taking the time to visit our Web site and share your thoughts regarding King Cobra Malt Liquor.

A naturally-brewed, full-bodied malt liquor, King Cobra was introduced in 1984 and is still sold nationwide and year-round. The availability of King Cobra and the package sizes this beer is offered in are marketing decisions and these decisions are usually based on consumer demand.
With this said, I regret to inform you that I cannot give you specific sales information for Harlem or other cities King Cobra is sold in, as this information is considered confidential. I apologize for any disappointment this news may cause you.

Consumer feedback, both positive and negative, is truly valuable to our company. Please know that I have shared your direct comments regarding King Cobra with our team and they will be considered during future marketing decisions.

Again, Joam, thank you for taking the time to visit our website and contact Anheuser-Busch. As always, please let me know if you have any additional questions or comments.


Cheers,

Janelle

CRACKER BARREL

Dear Cracker Barrel,

I just recently returned from the south  and upon my return i announced to various co workers that I dined at  Cracker Barrel. To my dismay they called me a racist and declared that cracker barrel is "the MOST racist restaurant in the USA". Where does the Cracker Barrel stigma stem from? I loved my experience. I must have gained 10 pounds by the time the meal was over with. The triangle game got the best of me as well. I kept having 4  pegs left!!!


Yours in God,

Joam

PS. I just loved loved the  little praying white doll in the "gift shop". I've never seen such a cute a  doll kneeled praying to our lord. Simply refreshing.

ANHEUSER BUSCH KING COBRA MALT BEVERAGE

Dear A B


 King Cobra malt beverage is targeted towards Harlem's homeless consumers?!!! Genius... freaking GENUIS!!!!  I've never seen it advertised anywhere else but Harlem and I cannot begin to count the number of people i have seen passed out on the sidewalk next to a can of COBRA. I have walked down stairs covered with nothing but fecal matter and COBRA cans. It's ideal really. They have very few people advocating for their choice of beer AND
they spend ALL of their hard earned street hustling money on your drink. Maybe this is what you want AB. A 50 something African American woman who lives on a sidewalk and mutters the varieties of grits.

Obviously you are smart, you have to be to turn out all the other quality beverages you manufactur.  Is the consumption of KING COBRA higher in HARLEM NYC than anywhere else in the nation? 

I would like to see some stats regarding my question. I think it is very interesting to manufacturer a beverage that is targeted to the homeless. SO SO clever!!!!

Did you initially set out to this or did it just sort of happen. I am truly interested. I also plan to target the homeless consumer , so i am seeking out business strategies.

Yours in God,

Joam

VICTOR PEST CONTROL

Dear Victor Pest Control,

What has been your experiences with glue traps? My best friend Tangi kept an entire mouse family alive by continuing to feed them once they were trapped in glue. They kept growing bigger and bigger but their feet remained the same size (as it was stuck in glue). I am wondering if this is a normal phenomenon?

SUSHI NABE (chattanooga tn)

Dear Sushi Nabe,

I have never eaten sushi before in my life. I am deathly afraid of raw fish after watching an episode of "Bones" where a  woman dies by some bacteria only found in raw fish. However, my daughter is marrying a japanese fellow and I fear that his family may not take a liking to me if I don't participate in their "culture". I plan on visiting your restaurant in the upcoming weeks. What is safe to try?


Yours in God,


Joam

AMPAD legal pads

Dear AMPAD,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know that i love love your 100% recycled legal pads. I use them for just about anything; writing love letters (to my lady friend sookie), corporal punishment (towards my not so keen daughter)and i even stapled the sheets together and made myself a shirt. I love the gray paper with the blue lines, it absorbs my papermate (sorry) black pens just perfectly. If you ever need a spokesperson, I am your man. God loves this paper, he told me in church last week and i pray nightly that i will always have an ampad in my bag.

Yours in god

Joam
