Anti-Energy Drink

Here is an interesting new drink. With all the craze of "energy" drinks lately I guess it was only a matter of time before someone created the polar opposite. This drink contains melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips which enable you to "slow your roll." The drink appears to be based on the cough syrup based recreational drug known as "Purple Drank." I wonder if this is healthy to use as a sleep aid? SOURCE

Papa John's Pizza Advertising

This is an awesome new marketing thing for Papa John's pizza. This brochure actually sticks to your door right below your peephole and provides an optical illusion making it seem as though a pizza guy is already at your door. This is sure to inspire some spontaneous orders. I'm sure whoever came up with this idea is getting a pay raise. SOURCE

Nintendo DS McDonald's Marketing

Nintendo DS users in Tokyo will now be able to bring their DS with them to a McDonald's and download the menu and look at menu item descriptions. This is kind of a weird marketing strategy since someone will be near a menu anyway when they are in a McDonald's. For any of you DS users out there do you think corporate marketing strategies through your DS is a good idea or just marketing spam? Check the link below for the full source story.LINK

Japanese "Evil" Snack Marketing

Tohato, A Japanese food producer, has launched an intersting new marketing campaign to get the word out on some new spicy snacks they're making. The two products are awesomely named "Tyrant Habanero Burning Hell Hot" and "Satan Jorquia Bazooka Deadly Hot." Customers can use their mobile phone camera to scan in a barcode on the snack and join an army for an online multiplayer game. You can either join the Habanero Evil Army or the Satan Jorquia Evil Army. The awesomest thing about the game seems to be that both armies are "evil!" Click the link below for more info on this over at the MobHappy blog.LINK
