I had the boys write a letter to their favorite food company, thanking them for making their favorite food product.
‘A’ chose the company that makes ‘Oreos’. It is now a company called Mondelez International.
‘R’ chose the company that makes ‘Doritos’. They are made by Frito Lay.
I did not expect the companies to respond. I just wanted them to have experience writing a letter in a business format.
Both companies not only responded with personal letters that addressed the questions the boys asked, they also provided coupons for free product! In addition, Frito Lay sent ‘R’ 20 custom comic books made just for Frito Lay, for him to give to his ‘classmates’.
I am impressed and grateful to these companies for going the extra mile to personally respond to my boys, with treats as well!
