Apparently, the hot dog giveaway by Oscar Mayer this past Wednesday generated some unexpected publicity for the famous purveyor of tubular meat-ish products.  Instead of all the goodwill emanating from a benevolent gesture prior to one of the nation’s biggest cookout weekends, OM may now be facing a lawsuit thanks to the good folks at [...]

By “hot air” I don’t mean bluster, bravado or lack of substance, I mean LITERALLY hot air – as in from a heater.  In one of the more unique marketing strategies I’ve heard of in a while, Kraft, makers of Stove Top stuffing, is installing heaters in bus shelters at 10 locations around the city [...]

I’ve written several times in the past about so called “products of convenience” that really aren’t convenient or where it is questionable that anyone is asking for them. But P.B. Slices a.k.a. “The Funner Peanut Butter” may take the cake as the most utterly ridiculous product I have seen yet.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Austin City Limits music festival in Texas. Most people went for the three days of music – 8 stages and 130 bands. This is mostly why I went.

You’ve got to hand it to Burger King. Even in the midst of successful advertising campaigns like the Whopper Freakout, they’ve stuck with the character of the BK King, despite mixed reviews. But now, with the introduction of their new “fun and nutritious” kids meals, they’ve added a brand new BK King character to [...]

This past Friday, around noon, a package arrived for me from Kraft Foods. Much to my delight it was two boxes, one plain, one cinnamon, of Kraft’s new Bagel-fuls. It was time for a taste test. Along with a handful of lovely female assistants, including Serious Eats blogger (and photographer for this taste test) [...]

On Thursday, I wrote about a new Kraft product called the Bagel-Ful. It’s one of those “products of convenience” that no one realizes they need until someone starts advertising it to them. However, the uniqueness of the idea has definitely attracted some attention in the blogosphere, with both Serious Eats and Gothamist picking [...]

Update 2/26/08: I just stumbled across an article from Chicago Business which may answer a lot of people’s original questions. It appears, based on the article, that Kraft’s new Bagel-Ful’s are intended to be bagel STICKS, not full bagels. Also, they are intended to be microwaved, not toasted.
Our good friends over at Kraft Foods are [...]
