Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee is so Magnificent, It Defies Explanation. Subtext: A Thank You E-Mail.


Dear Jerry, Dear Ben, Dear employees of Ben and Jerry’s,
                I’ve chosen to address you separately, because to address Ben and Jerry’s is altogether too vague.  Each of you deserves individual thanks and praise for the epiphany that is your Crème Brulee Ice cream.  In this country, whose economy is floundering and uncertain, I vow to singlehandedly sustain your business with my American dollars in exchange for your magical creation that is commercially available.  My eternal unwavering commitment is not without stipulations however.  For my secured business to remain intact please see the following conditions:
  1. 1.       Don’t ever stop or discontinue this flavor.
  2. 2.       Do not alter any of the ingredients.
  3. 3.       See numbers one and two.
  4. 4.       Post this letter on the break room refrigerator for Jerry, for Ben, and for all of your employees.

That is all.

Very truly yours,
Al Axelsen
