Dear Reader,
Today’s newsletter has two all new letters with replies. The responses are boilerplate, but I tried. I did score a bunch of Bomb Pop and B-Bop’s coupons, so there is that. I also got stickers from Duck Brand last time that I forgot to mention, so I am swimming in swag!
As usual, if you are enjoying these updates, please share, like, and subscribe if you haven’t yet. All it takes is an email address. I’d love to get more subscribers. Hit reply if you want to tell me what you think.

Dear Bomb Pop,
I get nostalgic whenever I have one of your Original Bomb Pops. I've tried the other flavors and I like the Jolly Ranger and the Nerds, but not was much as the Original Bomb Pop. Nothing beats the original.
I grew up not too far from where you make these, and my dad went to high school in Le Mars, so I feel kind of an emotional bonding with Bomb Pops. I can still remember watching Saturday morning cartoons and the milk man would sell us tasty frozen treats if my mom left us some money when she went to work. I almost always got a Bomb Pop or a Fudgsicle Fudge Pop. They were good too, but not as cool (pun intended) as a Bomb Pop.
Anyway, I've taken up enough of your time. I will let you go. I'm going to go eat a Bomb Pop right now. They're not going to eat themselves!
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen

Dear B-Bop’s,
First, I want to thank you for opening a new Ames, IA location. When I visit a B-Bop's, I always get the same thing: two chicken sandwiches (hold the lettuce, hold the tomato), fries, and a chocolate shake. I'm a simple man and this is all I really need.
I was surprised to recently learn that B-Bop's is a chain that's local to Des Moines and the surrounding areas. This surprised me. Your restaurants are so good they should be all over the place! I almost don't want to travel out of central Iowa if there aren't B-Bop's.
Anyway, keep up the good work. Love your food, love your store fronts. I plan to eat here again soon. Maybe even today.
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen

Dear Allbirds Shoes,
I have a pair of Allbirds. They are so comfy. I bought them because I saw Tony Dokoupil in what I assume were a pair. Allbirds have a distinctive sole, so I think I am correct, but he could have been wearing a pair of knockoffs. Either way, I thought they looked like some cool shoes on a cool guy and I am all about the cool. I bought a dark gray pair of the wall mesh ones. I got the wrong size initially, but the return was easy, and now I have the correct size and am happy.
These shoes are for indoor use only. They are my exercise shoes and I do at least a daily mile on the treadmill with them (I'm trying to get fit). Like I said, these shoes are comfortable. They are great for walking in. I really haven't broken them in yet as I just started walking, but I expect they will only better conform to my feet.
This is my first pair of Allbirds, but you can rest assured they won't be my last. I will probably buy an outdoor pair too at some point, but right now it's too hot for that. Have you guys ever considered making winter boots? Summer can't last forever (even if it feels like it).
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
This is my eighth newsletter update and my first with all new content. I’m glad you’re along for the journey. I’ve burned through $58 in postage so far, so hopefully I’ll be seeing a lot more replies to that initial 100 letters. I’ll keep you posted (ha!).
If you feel so inclined consider directly supporting Jackass Letters. I have a Support Page on multiple ways to do this. No pressure. Every penny I receive I pour right back into the website or postage, so if these letters bring a smile to your face, consider a donation.
See you again on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
