This thing with Eatmecrunchy isn’t over yet

You might recall yesterday’s post about the cereal bowl that keeps the milk and the cereal separated. Cats and dogs, those two, apparently. Well, in what might be a RandBall first, we’ve received a follow-up e-mail out of the blue from the inventor of the Eatmecrunchy cereal bowl. His name is Andrew Gray, he is from the United Kingdom, and he urged us to reconsider our position. If you are interested, please follow us to the jump:
Dear Michael,
Thanks for picking up on the eatmecrunchy bowl - we are advertising in the USA as 80% of our sales come from your fabulous country (I’m sure you count California, Texas and New York as they are the hot spots so far). While teasing the need for the product (it makes the best copy) thanks also for being fair and quoting a fan of the product. We do get a lot of fan mail [such as]:
“I just wanted to let you know that the bowl arrived today and it’s
wonderful! Thank you so much for sending another one! The original one I ordered never did show up but I’m thrilled that this one is here now. Thank you!”“I received the bowl a few days ago. I must say, I was apprehensive, but when I noticed the package at the mail box, I was relieved and very excited. Thank you very much for such excellent service and I can’t wait to share this awesome bowl w/ all of my friends and family! You rock! Mandy.”
“I just wanted to say I am in love! I love this bowl! It works
perfectly, I had perfectly crunchy cornflakes the whole way through! I promised my fiance I would buy him one of these if I liked it, so eatmecrunchy, you’ve got yourself another customer, this bowl is brilliant!”So, while this bowl — which I’m assuming you don’t yet own, may not float your boat — it really is appreciated by lots of people. You can see our blog — I promise you, we couldn’t make this stuff up.
So here’s a challenge — ask all you know (who actually eat cereals) if they prefer crunchy or soggy and if your poll comes out at less than 70% wanting crunchy then ….. well anyway do it and if I’m right you can print it and be wiser for the experience and we will send you two free bowls.
Cheers. Kind regards,
Andrew
