To:
Designer Whey

Circa 2001, one of the newer ones.

Designer Whey is a company that makes supplements for athletes. At this time I was really into daily weightlifting and rockclimbing, so I ate 6 full meals a day and I needed a helluva lot of protein.

Out of all the companies in the market, this company produced (and still produces) some of the best quality/tasting/priced stuff out there.

However, at one point they did muck around with the formula on their protein bars. I used to eat these religiously, so this one was actually half-serious.

NO RESPONSE.

I'll go on the web record and state that I think the pop-culture phrase "tastes like ass" is a hilarious meme. It's the ultimate insult to a chef.

I borrowed a bit from the Snapple letter with the whole "cut costs" thing.

As an epilogue, a year later I moved to San Diego, where this company is located. In looking for a job, I think I sent them a resume. Of course, I never heard back from them. Moral of the story: Nonsense can backfire on you.
