Brands in Action: Beer Winners!

Alright Yaybies, the results are in!  We really appreciate everyone’s participation and involvement with this idea.  It’s been fun reading the responses and hope you enjoyed them as well.

So here’s the deal, I’m going to categorize my favorites and rank them but since people actually competed in the Brands in Action contest, I think you’re all winners.  I know that’s super cheesy and lame but you can’t even make fun of me because I’m going to buy you all beer!

For those who played, and those who want to come drink beer with us, at 5pm today I’m going to walk down for my office to Grumpy’s on Washington and purchase pitchers of beer.  Yay beer!

Most Legitimate Entrants:

  1. Xerox.  As in, go Xerox that paper on your Canon printer/copier. Congrats Ben Miller!
  2. FedEx.  As in, I gotta ship this fast so I’ll FedEx it. Or is that really Priority Mail? Congrats J9!
  3. Rollerblading.  As in, I’ve got these awesome IN LINE SKATES but I’m Rollerblading. Congrats Alicia!
  4. Jetski. In a quote from J9: “As in, "Let's go Jetskiing, but, oh wait, you own a POS Yamaha."
  5. Febreeze. As in, I’m gonna use this Target brand air freshner to Febreeze the basement.” Congrats Boozan!
  6. Mace’d. As in, "I protested the RNC and got my ass MACED!"
  7. ‘bookin it. As in, I’m stalking people on Facebook. Congrats Lindsay!
