8.6.07 Kudo’s: Praise given for achievement
I have created a folder in the Ruby Jewel mailbox called “KUDOS”
I am going to share with you a few of my favorite comments we have received since the beginning of Ruby Jewel.
“Hi Lisa, I just wanted to pass along a message my friend sent me this afternoon.
I thought it might make your day, as it did mine! Megan: I just want you to know that my department all went and got
ruby jewels after lunch today, at my suggestion and it's all because of you! I got the mint chocolate one (of course)
and it was amazing thanks for spreading the word about those small pieces of heaven and happiness”
“I'm doing this because it occured to me that if I'm ever having a bad day (like today) and I eat one of your sandwiches (namely the mint + chocolate one) - then everything is right as rain. And that's really simple and ho-hum but it made me feel pretty good so I thought you guys should know”
“I’m sitting here at my desk… playing jazz music… lights are dim… and I’m eating a Lemon Cookie w/ Honey and Lavender Ruby Jewel Treat… I feel like I need to light some candles!!! I have to let you know that this is truly the BEST ice cream treat I have ever had the pleasure of eating!!”
“I thought when I had homemade apple pie ice cream that it was the best ice cream. I'd ever had. I was wrong. I just had a Honey Lavender with Lemon cookie. Incredible. What a treat. Great ice cream consistency. When I was a kid there was a cartoon where a dog would eat a cookie and it was so good the dog would float up to the ceiling. Now I know what that feeling is like. There is no ice cream sandwichor ice cream in the food stores or that I've ever had that is in the same league with yours.”
“I just discovered your mint dark chocolate sandwich at the Whole Foods in Bellevue, WA and am sooooo excited!!!!!
It is unbefrickenlievably good and the most delicious ice cream sandwich I’ve ever dreamed of!!!!!”
Seriously, who couldn’t feel good about making a product that can cheer someone up so! Thank you.
