first honorable mention = first loser

I’m glad you liked it, though.

So glad I didn’t use the word crunch in my submission. Thanks for picking my tag line.

This contest was poorly timed. First the holidays/vacations and then CES, I know it got pushed to the back burner, but I’m glad to see the update. Congrats to the winners, and I agree with Peter that the cereal references were awful.

What makes you think we won’t be using these taglines?

Good questions, indeed, though I therein I believe lies the punch-line to it all — none of these winners submissions will be used. It was a hoax, a sham, a publicity stunt (but then again, what isn’t these days).

drdrew makes several good points. I’d say like 90+ percent of the entries used the word “crunchies” or “crunch” in some capacity, and it was quite depressing. Follow Apple’s cue and think different, people!

Good question, drew. We’ll go back and get some stats together. Will post them up later this week (for reals this time!).

Of those listed, the first one is the best, imo.

But really, Jeff, I think the more important question is “How many bottles of [XXX] did you go through reading all the crunchtastic craptacular entries?” (Sorry, sorry, had to do it…)

PHa, got any stats on this? How many times “crunch” was used, number of first-time posters, person with the most entries, funniest ones you couldn’t use, my bac throughout the day, etc.

All creativity and wittiness aside, which one do you plan on actually publishing as your tag phrase?
