Guerilla Celebrity Endorsement #1

August 13, 2008

We didn’t pay Patton Oswalt, the funniest man alive, to endorse our products. We didn’t even ask him. He was just extremely tired after doing a long weekend of comedy shows in San Francisco, so we stuck a lollipop in his hand and snapped a photo. Thanks, Patton, we love you.

We should mention that he did express a keen interest in candy, and in particular inquired after the fabled Marathon bar, one of Brian’s favorite childhood candy bars as well (second only to the great Reggie Bar, also lost to history). Unfortunately, we had to be the ones to break the news to Patton that the Marathon bar had been discontinued long ago. Sad, I know - but fear not, lovers of chocolate-covered braided caramel:  the Curly Wurly bar, made in the UK by Cadbury, is a close cousin and is still in production.
