Calm down. You may not buy packaged ice cream, but you've still expended
quite a bit of energy here, haven't you? If you wrote and told them you
don't buy packaged ice cream, but you want an explanation of their pricing
practices, they'd probably still answer your letter. If you don't think so,
then lie to them and say you're a customer.

Either way, the letter could be written in less time than it will take to
continue this ****ing match.
