Post# 237 - Hey Nabisco - How About a Peanut Allergen-free Nutter Butter

I sent this note to Nabisco on 9/5/2011:

Dear Nabisco,

I'm an enormous fan of Nutter Butter cookies.  As with all things that I love, I obsess about them.  One year I went to a Halloween party, dressed as a giant Nutter Butter.  My girlfriend at the time, Nina, dressed as an E.L. Fudge, tried to remove my cookie coating, but that's a story for another day.

The end result of that night was a love child, young Carlton.  His mother and I aren't under the same roof anymore, but we set aside our animosities for the love of Carlton.  And when he turns 18, I'm gonna tell her off.  But that's a story for another day.

Young Carlton is a chip off the old block.  He's smart as a whip, agile as a mountain goat, and at his age, almost as sweet with the ladies as I was.  But that's a story for another day.
Here's the deal.  I love Nutter Butters.  They're part of  my life that I can't sacrifice.  On some level, I feel like Carlton deserves to try and enjoy the very cookie that played such a vital and unusual part in his origin.  However, you see, Young Carlton is allergic to peanuts.

I'm asking you as a passionate cookie fan, loving father, and spiteful ex-husband, to commence work on a peanut allergen-free Nutter Butter.  It would just be a Nutter Butter, but without the harmful peanut allergens matter.

Look, I'm not asking for results tomorrow.  Just come up with some prototypes within my lifetime.  Name your year.  2012?  Fine.  2016?  Perfect.  2024?  I guess that'll work.  How about sometime between now and 2041?  That gives you about 30 years.  I just want to share a Nutter Butter with my boy.

Is that too much to ask?

Please get started.  Only positive attitudes from here on out.

Sincerely,

Jerry
