Ya, some really had me laughing.

Just thought it was a fun site. Some companies have a sense of humor and are more customer friendly than others.

I'll be sending letters of my own to Burts Bee's Carmex and Wyeth. I go through a ton of Chapstick!!!!

Very interesting. As I read down the list I was thinking "I don't think this was worth the trouble". I love free samples but I don't have the patience (or sense of humor) this guy had.

Interesting, indeed. I wonder what the monetary value of everything he got adds up to.

And I also wonder, how many dogs does this guy really have, lol? He should be a comedy writer.

LoL

My fave was LJSilver's. AHOY!

That was funny!

You know, I emailed a bunch of companies once from their "site" I did get some coupons, but that's about it!

I have emailed companies and asked for coupons before, but never actually mailed snail mail letters.

I've had success with emailling Pfizer (if you're having a baby, ask for the new baby kit!), Campbell's soups, Lean Cuisine, Science Diet, and Hebrew Hot Dogs.

This URL is the greatest. I had to laugh reading some of his requests.

TFS! I found this to be so interesting!

Sheesh -- I'm in the library at work and his site is BLOCKED. Intersting. Him and myspace are the be all to end all I guess....lol

Success is mine!!!!! I send a letter to carmex (a real one not one of his funny ones) and they sent me 3 tubes of lip balm and a very nice letter back...one that was signed by a real person and everything!!!!! Next i'm going to try chapstick!!
