Buying a bra isn’t the easiest thing for a man to do. I wrote Wonderbra to see if they could provide any support… Dear Bratenders: I’m interested in buying some bras as a gift and checked out your Wonderbra collection online. Being a man, the problem I’m having is I don’t know what size to [...]

Overall, I’m pleased with HP Paper. But occasionally, some of the sheets have something on them that irks me. I contacted HP to document my problem… Dear HP Paper Producers: HP Multipurpose Paper is my paper of preference. Since I’m a perfectionyst, I insist all my printouts look perfect.

There is one item I’ve always been reluctant about adding to my athletic wardrobe.

General Mills introduced the first fruit-flavored cereal in 1954. Since then, millions have fallen for their Trix. Having experienced many sweet memories from Trix, as well as other cereals from General Mills, I wondered how they would respond to this… Dear Trixters: Everyone knows Trix are for kids. When do you plan to acknowledge adults [...]

Even though dust settles, I have no intention of settling for dust. Since Swiffer Dusters from Procter & Gamble gather up dust, I reached out to them to gather up information about dust… Dear Dust Devourers: I use Swiffer Dusters mainly because I can’t use feather dusters since I’m allergic to feathers.
