Ailisa was having one of her creative moments and was not happy with the Jell-o snacks. It all started with this ad in the Free section of Craiglist.

"I would like to buy these from you. Can you please include the empty containers? I want to lick the lids and cups clean. Looking forward to a nice evening at home with my Jello Pudding Snacks. Twist is just perfect for me ;)" -Samuel

"My room-mate and I want them. We figure there are two each this way! lol Do you still have them?" --Anne

And here is my personal favorite. This one was far and away the most serious of all the responses and had me on the shooting wine out of my nose.

"Dear Sir or Madam,

In what condition is the packaging? Are there any friction abrasions or scuffing? I am particularly concerned that the printing and certainly the logos are intact and in mint condition. Are there any dents in the cups? Do you have the original outer wrapper and if not, will you consider a price reduction? Lastly, though this is not necessary, I like to collect original purchase receipts simply as an assurance of a complete experience." -Anonymous

Thanks to all who responded and a great many thanks to Pizza for coming up with such brilliant entertainment.
