LETTERS FROM ELLEN

A letter worth slowing down for.


  • Why chip flavours are specifically engineered to be hard to put down and how that changes what willpower means.

  • Why the seatbelt marketed as the “safety standard” was tested on a body nothing like yours.

  • How two words my mother said to my daughter explain why it took me ten years to sit and enjoy a cup of tea.

  • Why MSG in your salad was fine dining, but in your dumplings it became “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.”

  • How a luxury brand sued a local tea shop and 4,000 years of history got called to the stand.


The kind of read that leaves you with something to think about and maybe someone you want to share it with.
