Eat My "Wordle" Meets the SMILE & SCRATCH Test

Lifehacker, one of our favorite websites, introduced us to the tasty and addictive Wordle. In their own words "Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide." This is so cool that we don't even care if the name is good or not. It amazes us that people create this stuff and send it out to the world for free. Kudos to the creator, Jonathan Feinberg.

Here is our world famous SMILE & SCRATCH Test Wordlized:

Now, go forth and Wordle.

Contest to name new Doritos mystery flavor

Sherry just told me that the marketing geniuses at Doritos have launched another brilliant promotion - asking their customers to name their new mystery flavor, currently called X-13D, which is packaged in a can't-miss black bag. You have to taste the chips to figure out the flavor. The winner of the  contest will become a "Doritos Flavor Master" and get to taste test the latest snack innovations from the Doritos brand, as well as receive free Doritos Tortilla Chips for a year. (What is that, like 3 bags a day for a hungry teenager?) For more details, go to this annoying Flash website, or (how's this for Gen Y...), text "X-13D" to 24477.

Hey, it's a tax write off.

A lot of people ask us about the NAMING license plate on our website - we know it looks like it was created in Photoshop, but I can assure you that it's the actual plate on my car. (I couldn't believe that it was actually available when I got it a few years ago.) And while I usually switch my vanity plate every few years, this is a keeper. If you want to see my collection of former vanity plates, stop by the Eat My Words office - they're all displayed on the wall, including AD QUEEN, SIN MORE, FLOAT ON, and C MONKEY.
