For the Love of Beer: Donating Carbs to Americans

Just found this website from Australia for Toohey’s Beer.

The idea is quite funny: Since Toohey’s only has 1/3 of the carbs, why not donate the other 2/3 to the people who love them the most: Americans. The website looks like a relief effort where you can pitch in and deliver carbs to a bunch of different US cities by flying a plane over google maps satellite photos and dropping the carbohydrate cargo.

I like this idea, because it is fun to make fun of Americans, but I wish the game was more fun and a bit more engaging. Also, I think a highscore ranking would do well in getting people to sign-up.

Uniqlo meets Cirque du Soleil

Pretty Cool Idea: Have the Cirque’s artists wear your sweaters while they do their acts, make a rich video flash website and sell it.

Redbull’s use of Flash

Check out this highly interactive site by Redbull.

You can easily build your own plane design in this fun application and take it to the sky, to see how well it flies. A great inspiration for all those who program flash. Also, what I found really well done was the level of detail as far as making even forms and buttons usable.

Also VERY surprising for this brand: MOZART. Can only be explained by the fact the Red Bull’s CEO is Austrian, and Austrians think Mozart was Austrian.
