We’re back… and we’re talking Oreo’s for some reason

Posted on September 2, 2012 by admin

My summer sabbatical is over and The Grape’s back with an all new design, layout, and, of course, content.

This year Oreo celebrates 100 years of cookie goodness (at least that’s what it says on their special edition packaging). This year actor Guy Williams (who famously played Zorro in the 1957 – 1961 TV series Zorro) turns 88. When you adjust for inflation, he’s also 100. Coincidence? Of course not. This made me think of some interesting cross marketing opportunities. Like Zorreo’s:

Some slight alterations to his hat (see above picture) and viola! Zorreo!

I thought about doing a cookie about Madonna (who when you multiply her actual age by the age she acts is also 100), but I didn’t even want to think about Whoreo imagery.

After taking the summer off, aPlateOfGrapes.com is back with many improvements. Come check out the ALL NEW (well, there’s lots of old stuff there too, so it’s not all new) and improved site. I’ve completely revamped the design, layout, etc… and I know you’ll love it. The spammers sure do, here’s just a taste of actual spam I’ve received about the new site:

–Rv Warranty

 

“I’d like to live on Kauai. It was small, quiet, and it had lots of opportunities for an adventure.”

–Vance A.

 

“aPlateOfGrapes is my #1 website now!”

“Thanks for this! I’ve been searching all over the web for the info.”
