Yo, Bill! Get Real about the Pudding
Swoon… chocolate pudding!
Dear Bill Cosby,
How could you lead people astray all these years by plugging commercially made pudding with such glee?
It’s painfully clear to me that you’ve never had homemade chocolate pudding or you would have never taken the money for promoting that sad comparison.
Please let me know when you would like me to come by and make you some homemade chocolate pudding. I’m slightly concerned from judging from your past reaction to commercially made pudding and your current age, you might just have a stroke when you taste my pudding.
I do believe that it’s worth the risk.
Yours truly,
Jackie
Chocolate pudding is one of the flavors of my line of RECI-TEES

Notes
Add something crunchy like caramelized crisped rice or toasted nuts on top of the whipped cream.
