Dear Gripper Zippers,

I have been using your Ziploc Freezer Bags, Storage Bags and Sandwich Bags for many years now, and I have found that nothing keeps food fresher, longer than your product does. Especially those junky Glad bags; I don't really trust that yellow-and-blue-makes-green junk, anyhow. What about color-blind individuals, huh? Did you ever think that you might be confusing the heck out of us?!! (Talking to Glad, not you.)

Anyway, I was talking about how good your bags are with my nephew, Fritz (who is not color-blind), and he said he read somewhere that you once made a Ziploc bag so big, it could completely contain a suburban post office! Is this true? How cool! Of course, if I was inside the post office, checking my P.O. Box or something, I probably wouldn't think it was so cool, because I'd be suffocating, and the way those bags tend to fog up, it'd be hard to see outside, and all of the stamps would get ruined from all the moisture and everything. Unless it was one of those special vegetable bags with the little air holes, in which case it would be okay, because then I could breathe. That might be kind of cool.

So is it true that you made this humongous Storage Bag? If not, what is the biggest bag you've ever fabricated? Is it even bigger than the one Fritz told me about? I would very much like to hear back from you about Big Bag Facts. (If you have a pamphlet, could you make sure it's in black and white? I think you know why.)

Forever Locking In Freshness,

S. William Kost

P.S. Do you have any Ziploc T-shirts (XL)? Mine has holes.
