The Nabisco Conspiracy

so today I am enjoying some Nabisco 100 calories snack cookies. They are called Alpha Bites. The concept here is that you have little cookies with a letter on each one. Here is my problem with that. I counted the cookies in the pack before I ate them. Okay you can stop wondering now, there are 18 cookies in there. Apparently the people at Nabisco has overlooked one minor detail. There are 26 letters in the alphabet and only 18 cookies in the package. I have a real problem with this. I feel that there should be 26 cookies in the pack. I know they have to be able to make those cookies smaller to get a total of 26 with each cookie stamped with each letter of the alphabet. Problem number two. Why did I end up with 5 O's in there. not only have they jipped me on eight cookies, but now they have jipped me on what could have been 4 additional letters. What do they think I am going to spell that has 5 O's in there. Okay I realise that these cookies are intended to be "fun" but how can I enjoy a cookie that I know is missing letter's of the alphabet. If I were OCD this would defiantly not be the snack of choice for me. I think they should put a disclaimer on the package. "warning if you have OCD you will be upset after learning that we have left 8 cookies out of this package. and by the way we have repeated the few letters that we gave you over and over again. Purchasing this product could result in misspelling of words. What are they going to do next put body parts in the package of those keebler elves? I guess they could call it CSI Keebler. Just another quirk of mine. Yes I have many and I don't think my mind was ready for one more, but what can you do but vent your frustration and eat the darn cookies.
Blessings till I post again.
