The mystery of rainbow paddlepops

Dear Streets,

                    I am writing in regards to your Rainbow Paddlepop and how it has eternally scarred me. I feel I must give some background information to truly inform my complaint.

My childhood was tough. We didn't have much money. One of the only joys it brought me was your rainbow paddlepop.

I would bound home on a hot summers day anxious for the chance for your product to fill me with the endless potential of life. If I could taste a rainbow what couldn't I achieve?

Once, I even fought a boy who tried to tell me it tasted like bubblegum. I knew it tasted like rainbows. It seems we were both wrong.

Your product was so good I one day hoped to get to a real rainbow, not for the pot of gold at the bottom I just wanted the chance to like it.

I now know according to you that rainbow would simply taste of caramel.

If you must include rainbow in your marketing campaign may I suggest you at least include a warning. "Does not correlate in the slightest to the flavour of a ‘Rainbow’ and is in-fact just boring old caramel"

It will save people from having to carry the burden and heartache I fear I will suffer for the rest of my life.

No one should ever have to feel this way.

Concerned

Anthony

  1. If you still want to taste the rainbow, try skittles.

  2. More lies Steve. Skittles taste of fruit not rainbows my dear boy, what else have they been lying to us about. Clearly it would have been more fitting if skittles had said 'taste the fruit salad'
