Bunny Approval? Ch.

I admit it, I'm one of the eaters of Annie's Shells and Cheese but I've never really looked at the box until recently. Check out the label:

What's all this about "rabbit approval"? I grew highly suspicious of Annie's labels wearing a bunny of a approval. I even suspected that Annie had in fact never lived with a rabbit. Anyone who has ever lived with a rabbit knows the pain of never meeting a bunny's standards. You will note, that the Bernie on the box is smiling and approving. You will also note that the Bernie on the box is a cartoon. If you look at the real photos of Bernie, you can see that he does in fact disapprove. For further examination, take a look at one of the oh-so-tasty Annie's Bunny Grahams:

That looks like a sweet graham cracker of a disapproving bunny if I ever saw one. This leads me to believe that the folks at Annie's are in denial about their rabbit, it's not approving of anything. But perhaps that's why their food tastes so good--a vain attempt to win Bernie's approval. What does Cinnamon have to say?

"I don't approve of smiling bunnies and I never authorized my name to be on a box of "bunny grahams"--I can't believe you named me after a flavor."

I on the other hand, heartily approve of Annie's food and eat it any chance I get.

Those Annie's people are totally deluded.

Doesn't Cinnamon even approve of things she likes to eat? What about Craisins and carrots and other rabbit treats? Does she approve of those?

Cinnamon doesn't approve of having her contridictions pointed out. It can get ugly.

I think Cinnamon and Bernie would hit it off real well. Bernie is an optimistic, high fiving bunny happy to hang out on the box of his favorite treats. A friend sent me your blog post. I loved it! Birdchick go to the annie's web site and clicck through to "contact us/CEO" section, and send me an email with your mailing address where I can send you a UPS load of Bernie's favorite Annie's treats, on us. Chocolate Chip is the "bomb", and I bet Cinnamon has not tried that one yet :)

PS, I want your job...

John, CEO, Annie's
