Becky:

I stumbled upon your blurb about NotWriting.com. As the founder of NotWriting, I appreciate your positive comments on the site.

I should note that you will probably enjoy the newest piece on NotWriting:
The Hershey’s® Wrapper Scandal: Inside the chocolate giant’s betrayal of the American people. http://www.notwriting.com/commentary.htm

The story is only half tongue-in-cheek. I truly believe that by changing their chocolate bar wrappers to plastic, the company has alienated many consumers.

In just the few hours since I posted the story, I’ve received over eighty emails from users thanking me for bringing this issue into the open. I’d appreciate it if you’d spread the word about the site and about this piece in particular; we need to bring back the old wrappers.

Thank you so much for helping the NotWriting cause.

Sincerely,
Chris Orcutt
