I heard about this trademark auction, possibly from you or Ad Age. Not sure. It's weird. Handi Wrap? I thought it still existed. Just goes to show...
Are you attending?
I'd love to go, will try to be there. If only to see who gets the name of my favorite toy store, growing up--Kiddie City. And, oh yes. I thought I had Handi Wrap under the counter. But I guess it's Saran. http://sarcasticbite.com/2009/03/09/stepford-wife-discovers-saran-wrap/
Thanks for sending me to sarcasticbite.com. Ha! It's very amusing.
Kiddie City? That's adorable. We did not have those on the West Coast.
