I sent this to Heinz on 6/10/2011:
Dear Heinz,
Dear Heinz,
I love Mayonnaise. Let me be specific. I love your Mayonnaise. It makes me so flipping happy when it covers my sandwich. When it dresses up my pot roast. When it provides that extra oomph to my salmon. I feel like I owe you. And I’ve been paying you back. Allow me to explain.
I’ve created a character, who is gaining momentum at local high school basketball, volleyball, and hockey games. I dress up in a white uni-tard with a big “M” logo. I have a 5 gallon homer bucket strapped to my back, with a 3/8 tube that runs through my sleeve to my index finger. The bucket is filled with Heinz mayonnaise.
I run around putting your mayonnaise on fans’ frankfurters—it looks like it’s oozing from my fingertip. At first, people stare. You see, society hasn’t yet embraced the “May-oh-dawg.” Well, it’s time, my friends. And the early results are positive.
They call me “Marvin the May-Oh Man.” At halftime, and during time-outs, I run out and do a dance and scream “Let’s May-Oh-Nize This Place All Up In Here!”
The crowd gets pumped. The kids, moms and dads are eating May-oh-dawgs like they’re going out of style. At the end of each event, I have a stiff back, and a mostly-empty homer bucket. And a full heart.
Here’s my question. I’ve been buying the packets and filling the bucket, one at a time. It takes roughly three full evenings to refill the bucket. Do you sell your Mayonnaise in five gallon buckets? This would really make things easier. Also—does your “Light” Mayonnaise weigh less? I’m just thinking of my ailing back.
Let's face it--you're in second place in the mayo race to those weasels at Hellmann's. That's as good as last place. Let's together do something about this!
Any information that you can provide is greatly appreciated. Also, know that I’m keeping the Heinz name out of it, unless you want to strike up an endorsement deal and dress me up as you see fit.
Sincerely,
Marvin (Jerry)
