First: why do the Atlantic Superstores in Moncton not carry Vachon Croquettes or Mini Croquettes along with the other snack cakes? I understand that it would not be economical to carry every Vachon product but may I suggest you carry only one flavour of Log or Flaky in order to make room for the Croquette? In my opinion the Croquette is the Rocky of the snack cake universe. The Croquette came in, a clear underdog, and shook up the world by defeating Twinkie, the former, seemingly-unbeatable, World Champion of individually-wrapped, cream-filled vanilla snack cakes! As tasty as a Twinkie can be, the Croquette beats it in every category: the cake is more moist and less gummy; the filling is thicker and richer and the form (a simple circle rolled up and gently cradling a bar of filling) is infinitely more aesthetically interesting and beautiful than the dull yellow plug shape of the boring Twinkie.  I humbly request that you introduce the wonderful Croquette to the people of Moncton. I am sure they will love it.

Second: (and much more serious, I’m sorry to say) please stop selling “homeopathic” magic water. I know that rules were passed a while ago so as to make it illegal to sell tobacco products in a pharmacy. This makes sense (from someone who has smoked for 25 years) since the idea of smokes does not agree with the idea of health. I would make the point that the idea of selling ludicrous, fraudulent vials of plain water, which has no scientific proof behind it at all, to people who may very well have an illness that could need actual, medical treatment also disagrees with the idea of health.  If you sell vitamin C tablets made out of marshmallow and which contain no vitamin C at all, you run the risk of a customer choosing to use smores as his only source of vitamin C and, thus, winding up with a bad case of scurvy. Homeopathy is widely known to be a giant scam and takes advantage of unfortunately dumb or gullible people. Sure, they should know better and at the end of the day they are responsible for their own lives but, still, from a PR perspective, it looks bad to be duping people. Also: at least cigarettes DO contain nicotine, the drug they supposedly deliver. Your pharmacy should send the BS juice the way of the cancer sticks. I’m sure it would be the President’s Choice.

Sincerely,
