Re: the necessary return of Tab Clear

Dear Muhtar A. Kent,

You are on a roll baby! *high five*

Taking away and then reintroducing Vanilla Coca-cola (the best kind of Coca-cola) was a genius move. Torture us without it for a few years and we’ll be salivating like rabid dogs at its return to the UK. I salute you. I’m glad you listened to the students on The Student Room petitioning for it back. They are muchos happios.

As a marketing specialist myself I wanted to make a suggestion. It is time to bring back Tab Clear.

Twenty years ago people weren’t ready for it. Their primitive unevolved minds couldn’t comprehend transparent Coke. But I could comprehend Mr Kent. And evolution of the human race has meant that two decades later, it is time.

No need to thank me, as CEO of The Coca-cola Company you’ve brought me many a joy over the years, usually in the form of lorries with Christmas lights on.

Kind regards,

Jack Wallington

Re: raisins in rocky road

Dear Mr William Dreyer (deceased),

Just a short note in memory of you to thank you for creating Rocky Road icecream, which of course led to Rocky Road Marks & Spencer bites (even if you may or may not have stolen the recipe from your friend – I for one don’t believe the rumours). From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Almonds and marshmallow wrapped in lashings of chocolate. You really knew what you were doing, didn’t you? You minx!

I enclose the below picture in fond memory of Rocky Road Marks & Spencer bites, a pack of which I consumed greedily only twenty minutes ago (between you and me, I’m also about to go and eat a crumpet!)

However it’s with a sense of regret that I have to be the one to inform you that some people, some people have been adding raisins. Raisins! I know what you’re thinking: who the hell likes raisins?! Well Mr Dreyer, I’ll tell you what you already know: no one likes raisins.

Kind regards,

Jack Wallington
