Best (worst?) prank
prankster: What should I do if I run out of bean dip?
me: Get more.
prankster: OMG you're so amazing.

Most obsessive caller
has called twelve times in the last 2 years. Wow she was interesting.

Best reasons to call
-to tell me about the monsoons in Arizona that are making your chips stale
-to ask WHY your chips are SO salty. Was someone getting FIRED that day or something?
-to tell me there are about 20 peanuts in your 7oz bag of Cracker Jack...is that not enough?
-to ask why your store doesn't carry Sunkist cherry limeade, then argue with me when I tell you it's not a FL product

Best thing overheard from my neighbor Karen
"Am I black or white? Does it matter?"

Letters
Dear Fritolay,
My name is Mercy and my best friend's daughter simply love the cheddar ranch flavor twist in the ranch mix munchies bag. In fact we plumb fight over it!! We are just a little town in Florida but have a big appetite for those little corn flavored twist!! We write to you because we would like a bag full of them!! I am sure that we are not the only females to like this treat. We work hard at a pharmacy where it is hard to eat. Those twist are not only easy to reach and eat but are extremely satisfying. Please let us know if this is possible or must we still fight for that wonderful twist.

Being a fan of your Cracker Jack product all my life...(I'm 72)...I was very disappointed recently...when I found your product unsatisfactory. I use them weekly in gift boxes & for all occasions, and was embarassed when a friend informed me that 2 of your boxes were inedible, were all stuck together in one flat sticky slab and that the 3rd box, was only 1/5th full. After that I checked my supply and there were others at well that did not "rattle" when I shook them. (I have an air conditioned home)

Miss Vickie's,
I feel like somebody made chips just for me. One problem--you spelled my name wrong it's Miss Vicki's. My name on the music circuit in my neighborhood since 1966. I was 21 then. I have always kept that name due to being married so many times. I play drums and sing. Now that I have retired from the "work field." I'm gonna start playing again. I don't have much money so I'd hope that you'd send me a couple of coupons. They are a little too salty but great flavor. I'm sold forever.
Thanks
Thanks Again
Miss Vicki
Don't care for hot.

I am writing this letter because it was the only way I thought I could get my thoughts to you. I have called your 1-800 number for two days and called your main office but was sent to the voice mail of one of your employees. NO SERVICE
My wife had a simple complaint about your baked cheetos with white cheddar. There was none on them..she has bought that peculiar verity since you started it's production. This bag had no cheese flavor on it.
I tried to take it back to Wal-Mart where it was purchased but they would not do a thing about it but through it in the trash.
If this is the way customer satisfaction is done at your company, then we can buy the infearior product where satisfaction is guaranteed.
Irritatedly yours,

Monsoons in Arizona?! What in the world was that person talking about?! I always thought the "monsoon season" in Arizona was a big joke!
