I had bride&groom M&Ms, complete with pictures of the lucky couple, at a wedding I attended recently. They were a smash hit with the guests... largely for the sheer novelty of it.


it is really something to see yourself in candy form. I was at a convention where they had pics of the speakers on them. It was amazing how detailed the pictures were on such a small, irregularly shaped, and quickly produced product. I winder how long until someone starts laser images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary into chips and whatnot to sell as "visions".


Certainly a better and more genuine favor than you get at most weddings, will they have custom Viagra in time for the seven year itch?


Haha, it is interesting to note that most custom offerings currently focus on the youth market, or product traditionally bought by younger customers. I wonder if we will start to see these products "age" with their customers of if it is a perpetually youth based niche?


Could be, also might be that these things always require using a computer and the olde aren't that into it?


I suppose, but don't you think there are enough 40yr olds+ who would be interested enough in computers? or is it an outgrowth of the MySpace/Facebook "Broadcast Identity" thing?
