To Whom it May Concern,

I'm not usually one for cold cereal (props on coming up with that, by the way), but I do love Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. I especially love that there are prizes in the box again. And they're spoons, so that's cool. Props again on bringing that back; it's been too long. (Although, I would suggest sticking it in the bottom of the box - sure, kids today expect things fast and easy, but waiting was part of the fun, plus the kids could learn a thing or two about patience.)

The point of this letter, though, is to say that I want to collect all of your spoons. Maybe it's just good marketing to put more Elsas in the boxes than Nemos or Mikes, so that kids (and nostalgic college students) convince their parents to keep buying your product until they've completed the set. But perhaps you've failed to consider that those college students are counting pennies to remain college students and, though they dearly wish it were possible, simply can't buy forty cereal boxes until they get a Nemo or a Mike. Just a thought.

I currently have two Elsas, which isn't a bad thing (I did love Frozen), but it is slightly problematic for my bank account. I mean, this way if one Elsa spoon is dirty, I still have a backup to eat Frosted Flakes with. But what would I do with three Elsas? Have a backup for my backup? But where would that end?

Honestly, I don't know what you could do to fix this dilemma. I guess I just wanted to bring it to your attention. And also suggest making more collectible character spoons.

If you were to read this letter and then decide to take action, I would ask you to keep in mind that I get very good grades and plan on becoming a productive member of society.

Thank you very much.

PS- Is there an email for this kind of thing? While there is a phone number on your website, you could consider putting an email up as well, for those customers that have homebody tendencies and don't like talking on the phone (ie me).
