Open letter to supplement retailers

Dear Supplement Retailers,

As I write this letter, I’m in grave peril of being buried alive, and I have to tell you – it’s your fault.

You see, behind me towers a mountain of plastic protein shakers and I’m afraid the slightest noise may trigger an avalanche.

It started out happily enough. In fact I was delighted when the first protein shaker arrived as a freebie with my online supplements order. How convenient, I thought!

When the second and third protein shakers arrived, I generously bestowed them on grateful friends. But eventually I ran out of friends who’d take them (gratefully or otherwise), and still the protein shakers keep coming. No matter which company I buy from, every order seems to arrive with the obligatory shaker.

It’s not that I’m ungrateful. I appreciate freebies as much as the next person. The problem is, plastic protein shakers are virtually indestructible. You only need one shaker, and it lasts a lifetime. If I survive the looming avalanche, I may well end up passing my protein shaker on to my grandchildren.

So instead of adding to my mountain of plastic, why not send me a couple of sample sachets for fat burners, or pre-workout stimulants, or even protein. It’s cheaper for you, it’s better for the environment, and you never know – a sample might even persuade me to buy the product.

But if it’s another shaker, I’ll scream. Quietly though, so as not to set off the avalanche.

Yours sincerely,

Pseudonym
