I must admit; I remember everything..

This has a reason;

When i was a young boy ( about 7 years old) there was this company who promised you a tool to uncrown the green part from strawberries. Criteria was to sent in 3 labels of their strawberry marmalade. I managed to eat 3 big fat containers of their strawberry marmalade in less than a month. slammed the stamps on the envelope, picked my bike, drove about 15 km to the nearest post office and delivered the most important letter I had ever sent in my entire life.. the trip back was done sooner than Lance Armstrong could have done it.. Driven by pure adrenaline.. I was on top of the world!

I loved that strawberry decrown tool, wanted to know how it worked, what it looked like, and was obsessed by the fact that you could get your own FREE tools with eating stuff.. How great; lived in an euphoric state of mind for a few weeks (don't know if it was the marmalade or the fact that my life soon was enriched by a new and yet to be discovered tool)

Naive as i was i hoped for the mailman to show up with a smile on his face, delivering me my precious tool.. it took me 12 weeks to realize that i would never get the tool..

after these 12 weeks, my life wasn't the same.

i will never ever forget anything i sent to a company.. I am reliving the marmalade nightmare all over.. i can still be bothered that they let this 7 year old down..
