You read about an amazing asortment weird happenings. If there was direct link between eye ball movement, fingers typing, and mouse clicking your burned calory count would be through the roof - or in your case, through the couch. Schrimp flavored Doritos? Not available here in the uncivilized lower 48. Maybe you should consider starting an export company to send us things like Opium Beer and Schrimp Doritos? I can't remember exactly when (how unusual), but you did a piece on some racially inspired advertising for certain products. I am sure there would be large market for those products in certain areas - say Texas and many other "red" states. There is probably a market for bed sheets and certain forms of WWII German memorabilia in those same states.
On a more significant note, if you are seriously considering some articles on the education or lack there of in America I would like to recommend James W. Loewen's Book "Lies my Teachers Told Me, Everything your American History Book got Wrong." It has been revised several times and is fairly up to date, but still a good starting point.
If I could be so presumptuous, I would be willing research some part of this concept and send you my findings. You could then rephrase everything into your voice and send it out to all the "Peeps" who follow your every humorous barb.
I could use Google Docs and the 'share' key so you could point me in the direction you wanted me to go.
Free help, like free beer, can be useful and of course, there is always the delete key.
Haha thanks Edward, I'll keep that in mind. Have a few side projects to finish up before the next big deep dive piece.
As for the product you mentioned, that crazy beast is now called 'Darlie Toothpaste' and is still on shelves all over Asia (its number 1 or 2 brand I think). Worth a wikipedia read.
And cool, Lies my teacher told me is already in my reading list. Glad to hear it'll be worth the read. Cheers!
I can't find the shrimp-flavored Doritos, but I did find Ritz peanut butter crackers in cookie form. Add some tuna and you are good to go.
