Letter to General Mills Inc.

UNRESOLVED
Dear General Mills Inc.,As a longstanding Häagen Dazs patron, I have generally received your creamy branded in-store offerings with gratitude. The quality is excellent and proves to reliably satiate my voracious proclivities. On occasion, I will procure Haagen Dazs's packaged offerings at other retail locations. However, I must confess that the quality is quite inferior to that of the branded locations. It is due to this discrepency that you find yourself reading this letter.On the evening of January 23, 2024 I happened upon the unmistakable urge to devour dark chocolate ice cream. Unfortunately, at such a late hour I found myself with few options; the Häagen Dazs store just down the street was closed - much to my dismay. A local alternative was closed as well. The only practicable means by which I could satisfy this fleeting desire was by visiting a Walgreens store and acquiring a box of Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bars, Box of Three.As I opened the box, my riveting indulgences were within reach of manifestation. Upon unwrapping an individual Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bar, and raising it to my mouth with fervor, the shattering sound of dark chocolate goodness pierced my ears. I looked down and saw approximately one half of one Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bar on the ground. It was clear that disaster struck: the structural integrity of the sweet treat was compromised by unknown forces.There exists an implicit and reasonable expectation that one's ice cream treat remain intact from the point of unwrapping to consumption. For it to collapse without a body exerting force upon it is absurd. Further, it dashes the expectations of the enjoyer-to-be. Such abominations comprise the ingredients for brand disintegrity.It would be a shame for Häagen-Dazs's sterling brand to suffer a fate like my ice cream bar. In accordance with good taste, I request that Häagen-Dazs corrects this wrong and affirms the quality of their products - in store and out.With sincerity and in good faith,Mr. Jurgen Focken
