Today I did a little investigating on Wonka and his “Laffy” Taffy (note the sarcastic quotes around the Laffy). The Wonka website didn’t have any helpful information about Laffy Taffy. They talk about their flavors, but don’t have a complaints department, or really any contact information at all. I didn’t even see where/how one could submit their jokes. How did Brandon even get his stupid joke to Wonka in the first place?
I did find a “Nerdoodler”, where you can make a lovely artistic picture by pouring billions of Nerds on the ground. Making a mess is fun!
After pouring Nerds on the ground for 45 minutes, I decided to move the ladder and go directly to the Nestlé website. I looked over their job opportunities, both in the US and in Switzerland. They had a Labeling Specialist position open, but the description was more about working on nutritional information, and not so much about copy editing their Laffy Taffy jokes. I did find contact info on the Nestlé site, and sent them the following email:
I have some questions about your Laffy Taffy product, and could not find any contact info on the Wonka website.
1- How can I submit my jokes to Laffy Taffy?
2- Do you have a proofreader or copy editor for these submissions?
The second question is important to me because I have recently read some Laffy Taffy jokes that I found quite confusing. For example… (jokes from last blog)
If you need a good proofreader for your Laffy Taffy jokes I would like to apply for that position. It hurts my inner child to see these kind of mistakes associated with the good Wonka name.
