Free, mediocre candy (the sequel) + Sit & Write #89
Greetings, friends!
I'm pleased to report that after a month of waiting, I received two fancy vegan candy bars in the mail, free of charge. (See my previous newsletter for the backstory.) Beyond free of charge, actually, as the postage indicated that CEO spent upwards of $8 to send them to me via priority mail from a high class New York City zip code. The bars were labeled with a post-it note, upon which the CEO had scrawled the following: "Julian, Sorry for the long delay. Would love your feedback! - [redacted CEO name]"
These details confirm two of my theories. 1) The CEO indeed lives in a fancy part of Manhattan, as my amateur detective work had suggested, and 2) his emails were not ghost-written by some underpaid customer service rep, unless they're also ghostwriting his post-it notes, which seems unlikely.
As for the bars, they'd liquified in my sun-warmed metal mailbox. A few minutes in the fridge remedied the issue. I took a deep breath, braced myself for a mouthful of hot PowerB…
