Logo Eggs

After I wrote my last blog entry, I was surfing the net for advertising related news articles and found an article that was definitely pretty damn cool. It seems some dude had the idea to start lasering freshness stamps onto the side of eggs so that consumers can't be duped into buying repackaged eggs that were no longer safe to eat (it happens!).

Although he didn't intend on it, Mr. Parker had just uncovered one of the newest add mediums out there: eggs. Yup, his company hopes to use the technology used in stamping freshness dates on eggs to begin to sell to advertisers. Think about it - an ad for Jimmy Dean sausages printed right on all of the eggs. SWEET.

It's kind of like logo golf balls. But way better tasting. I wonder what's next? What do you think? Ads on the sides of houses? Ads on your Ipod? Ads on your bar of soap? Nothing is sacred!

Here's a link to the whole article. More later people. Take care,
