(TrendHunter.com) A company called Choccywoccydoodah has set up an intimate boudoir of sheer chocolate for dacadent self indulgence. A bit like the chocolate room except that was a PR stunt and this is the real deal. I really love this idea though essentially it is just a tasting experience with knobs on.

You know that new VW spot where the Jetta or Passat or whatever beeps everytime the guy who wants to buy it takes a step toward it? See, in the spot, turns out that the car’s already sold and instead of putting a sold sign on it, the new owner thinks it’s funny to peep-peep the alarm to scare the first guy. I get it, and it’s kind of funny. It’s just not nearly as good as this:
Seems I used to know exactly what kind of brand VW was, just from their ads. Now their ads are telling me they’re just another car company. And that’s a little sad, in an advertising kind of way.
(TrendHunter.com) I love the simple design of these crumbs plates. Kind of stylish, kind of kitsch but it works. Sorry can’t think of a lot else to say so will let the series of pictures speak for themselves.

You know, after all these years, I still enjoy a good “design your own (thing normally designed by professionals).” But the emphasis has to be on the word good, and that’s where StrawberryFrog earns points with its Scion Speak site, which lets you create a customized logo. According to The New York Times, “The agency spent six months last year escorting a graffiti artist, Tristan Eaton, around New York, Los Angeles and other cities to talk to Scion owners about their lifestyles.†The result is a site with slick urban graphics and a surprisingly intuitive navigation. What’s also interesting is the fact that the site represents Toyota’s focus on building loyalty among existing customers. I haven’t ridden in a Scion in years, but I still enjoyed creating this winged, rat-capped ode to awesomeness. Hat tip to Dan Shust on Twitter.

Carlton Draught – Big ad – (2005) 0:60 (Australia)
Oh yes, we all remember the Carlton Draughts Big Ad fondly. It went on to rake in the awards and even had a fierce fight with Guinness Noitulove / Evolution for the Grand Prix spot in Cannes 2006. The later Carlton Draught flashdancer advert was kind either super funny or “meh” depending on who you asked. Carlton has thus done a big time gamble and brought back the thousand Carlton men who sort themselves into shapes.
Only this time… they’re skydiving.
