Dear Byrne Dairy,
Somehow this cold weather is making me think about a summer
afternoon in 1989. I was driving back from Byrne Dairy in the car my
grandparents had recently handed down to me. You could barely tell if they had ever even let their feet touch
the carpeting. I turned a corner and the red plastic tote containing the two
glass bottles of milk my friend and I had just bought fell over. The two half
gallons crashed together spilling milk all over the rug. Oh dear. No wet-vac or
cleaning supplies at our disposal were going to erase that event.
I drove many miles the rest of that summer in a very smelly,
sun-baked milk mobile. Never once did that negatively impact my feelings for
Byrne Dairy skim milk in a glass bottle. So cold, so delicious. From then on
though, I did nestle each bottle separately, a safe distance apart from each
other.
Now that I have a husband and teenage children of my own,
there are more opinions about milk to consider. Byrne Dairy is still a
favorite. My husband has taken to treating his semi-lactose intolerant (more
like lactose disagreeable) self to a bottle of Byrne Dairy low fat milk after
his exercise regiments. He says that in addition to the delicious taste, yours
is the only brand that does not give him terrible gas. We are all grateful!
Mmmmmm,
Andrea

Did they respond? Well I sent that letter last winter, so I guess it is time to give up hope. However, I not cry over spilt milk!
Current point total remains at 67 points
Head over and remind the competition what's at stake. Hey, does anybody know what's at stake?
Hahaha! Oh man, that poor car. Actually, poor you for having to ride in a milk-smelly car. That is the worst! But these letters are awesome. I'm amazed that you have 67 points! That represents a lot of letter-writing. And I finally read up on the contest. Sounds kind of fun! Maybe I will have to find some friends who are crazy enough to try it. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can imagine that smell. I can't believe they didn't send you a case of the stuff (you know, for the family comfort because of your husbands gas.....) haha
ReplyDeleteJust reasonable gas? Not terrible gas?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you've kept this up so long....
