BIG ED'S FAN MAIL

Confessions of a True Big Ed’s Fan

Stories of Dedication and Gluttony

Big Ed loves to get Fan Mail! Here's his latest fan story...

Dear Big Ed:

My roommate is the BIGGEST fan of Big Ed's. Originally from Arizona, she now lives with me in MD. When she first moved in, all she talked about was how none of the ice cream sandwiches on the East Coast compared with a Big Ed's. In addition, she was also very upset b/c she could not find Big Ed's here. Let me tell you her story regarding Big Ed's as best as I can.

One year, she worked for a law firm in Phoenix. EVERY SINGLE DAY she would go down to the local convenience store and buy a Big Ed's, her favorite food in the world. She gave me all the specifics: the name of her work, the intersection and name of the store, even the cost of a Big Ed's, with and without tax. Honestly, I never knew anyone could love a food that much. Especially Sherry, since she is a very picky eater.

Anyway, a few months ago she learned about your contest and found out that no one had located Big Ed's in MD yet. This past Saturday, at 10:47 pm, I had my first Big Ed's in DE on the way back from the beach. We stopped at a WAWA on rte 404 and she was so excited that the freezer contained Big Ed's that she almost knocked me over opening the door. Needless to say, we each bought one plus a chocolate covered one to try. It was indeed very good. (Sherry, if she hasn't already done so, will be forwarding in the address in hopes of winning a t-shirt).

To make a long story short, Sherry no doubts finds Big Ed's saucers one of the best things in life. Keep on making those delicious sandwiches!!!

Dear Big Ed,

My husband has been talking about your Super Saucers since last August when he was in Houston, Texas. When we traveled to Houston this past weekend he was OBSESSED with finding one of your delectable space treats. (We live in New York City). In a moment of indescribable glee, we found a freezer stacked with them at FRIENDLY MART, on the corner of DUNLAVY and DALLAS streets, in Houston, Texas. We were delighted when we found your website and we are honored to be the first to sight a Super Saucer at this location.

Yours in confectionary satisfaction,

Dear Big Ed...

My husband and I have already reported a sighting to you...remember us? The story about my husband being obsessed with BESS? (This is our secret code for BIG ED'S SUPER SAUCER) I reported a sighting in Houston, Texas a few weeks ago along with our story. I have yet to read our sighting as official on your website, but I'm sure your computer hackers are too busy licking ice cream off their fingers to update the site as often as we fans would like.

At any rate, I am so excited to report to you FOUR new sightings!!!!!!! My husband and I just returned from a road trip in the great southwest....he saw it as a vacation but I veiwed these past few weeks as a BESS hunt. And I am happy to claim the following sights....

1) Walgreen's Gallup, New Mexico

2) Stop-N-Shop ** Alamosa, Colorado

3) TOTAL Gunnison, Colorado

4) The Basalt Store Basalt, Colorado

** (this one was my personal favorite.....I scared the entire staff and all the customers in the store when I yelled out "OH MY GOD" as I laid eyes on Big Ed waiting patiently in the freezer for me.)

So, that's all the news. We just got back tonight and I couldn't even unpack until I wrote you.

Let us know how we're doing!!!

WE love you BESS

Do you have a Big Ed Fan story to share? We'd be happy to post if for you - we already know all about your Super Saucer stunts. There's a woman whose husband had never tasted a Super Saucer while she hid her addiction for over six months! She had an hour commute and Super Saucers helped her manage her road rage. Big Ed believes that a controlled Super Saucer addiction is better than Prozac for humans.

Write Big Ed and share your story. If it includes a sighting, you'll automatically be entered in the monthly drawings.

Follow me and I'll take you to
