Does anyone sell alphabet pasta in individual letters? (Let's say I wanted to buy a pound of Q, or a few ounces each of B, J, and S.)

Is alphabet soup available in different alphabets? Could I buy a pound of Greek or Russian or Cherokee letters? (I'm pretty sure Braille wouldn't work. Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] tregoweth, you needn't suggest that.)

Do different brands of alphabet pasta have different frequency distributions? Do some have a Scrabble-like distribution that's useful for spelling out words, while others have about as many Es as Qs?

And yes, I'm totally serious.

The only useless thing I can add is this reminded me of the classic Batman television series episode where somebody in trouble left a message in a bowl of alphabet soup and they used the Bat Alphabet Soup Analyzer attachment to the Bat Computer to figure out the message.

Hmm, I'll bet that's not available as USB... logically, the Riddler would have expected that if we had to analyze grain products, we would use a cereal port! The dastard!
