Now I thought that this was so funny that I figured Little Debbie company might like to hear it, so I wrote them and told them about it.
This is what I wrote:
Hello! I have been sending care packages to a chaplain with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan for the last several months, who distributes the items to his soldiers. With monetary donations from others, I have been able to purchase enough items to fill about 30 boxes with hygiene items, movies and games and treats. We send a lot of treats because that goes over really well (needless to say!) Frequently the treats are Little Debbie items, because they are reasonably priced (which means I can get more for my money) and they are "classics", it's a pretty safe bet to send them, they won't be wasted.Now, wouldn't it be nice if they offered to send some items to our guys? I didn't ask...I am shy about doing that...Not long ago, the chaplain wrote me and said that he had received a bunch of my care packages and this is what he had to say...
"The Little Debbie cakes have only been out for about 3 hours and they are just about wiped out. Paratroopers love Little Debbie!"
Now every time I go by the Little Debbie display at the store, my kids chime "Paratroopers love Little Debbie!" and we all think fondly of our troops in Afghanistan.
I have been chuckling about this ever since and thought I would share it with you.
Sincerely,
Well, I've kicked up a little dust on a Disney thread. Not interested in making a day of it tho.
