    Dear Coors Brewing Company,

    I have enjoyed your frosty beverages for many years now and I am continually impressed with the quality that you brew into every draught of Coors Light that I have ever had the pleasure of imbibing. However, it has come to my attention that the cardboard packaging which lovingly surrounds, protects, and transports your 24-Pack of "Silver Bullets" is not of the same exacting Quality that you place into every individual can.

    Let me paint you a picture: My car died a few days ago and I have had to resort to taking the somewhat unreliable and inconvenient public transportation offered in my city. After taking the bus a mere 1.2 miles away, I purchased two 24-Packs of your fabulous nectar so that I could sit at home alone and nurse my disease. Now, I misread the bus schedule, and instead of a bus returning to pick me up at 11:30, a bus came not at all. It seems that the last bus home passed me only moments after I arrived at the supplier of your gorgeous beer. After waiting around for 45 minutes for a bus which would not be arriving until 4:30 in the morning, I re-read the schedule flyer and realized my grievous error.

    I understand that there is a beauty to your brews when it is filling my belly, toxifying my liver, and slowing my brain's functions, and with beautiful brews comes an expected amount of weight, but may I say Holy Fuck your beer is heavy. A can, not so much, but two 24-Packs... Good shit a'mighty, it's not light by any means. I began my long and arduous trek home, Ambrosia in tow, one in each hand like a pair of Alcoholic Dumbbell Shrugs.

    The core of my complaint came when, merely halfway home, one of the cardboard straps broke; thusly, dropping to the ground, throwing me off balance, and spilling precious "Silver Bullets" onto the pavement. A lowly street sweeper laughed at my predicament, and I felt the urge to leave it behind where it landed. The urge to leave it behind! Was such an abandonment ever conceived! Had two strangers, Rob and Troy, not stopped and offered to relieve me of the broken-boxed intoxicant for more than I paid, I might have left the dejected cans there to sit, warm, and lose precious frostiness. It seems that my saviors, Rob and Troy, were late for their own ebullient gathering (with other people most likely, I might bitterly add) and had not the time to purchase a case of your beautiful product, for I'm sure that Coors Light was their drink of preferred choice as well.

    So, if it would be at all possible to look into some manner of strap reinforcement for your 24-Pack, I would be very thankful. Some method which would result in a safer, more secure tranportation without an increase in your generously low prices.

    Thank you very much for your time, patience, and ear.


    Yours Truly,
