French’s Tomato Ketchup is made with 100% Canadian Grown Tomatoes

A couple of years ago Heinz closed its manufacturing plants in Southern Ontario and moved operations to the US. This didn't sit well with local farmers and many Canadian ketchup lovers. It also opened up an opportunity for French's to move in and sweep the leg. No word where this new all-Canadian ketchup product will be sold but we're already impressed with the product. Add the fact that 10% of all sales will be donated to local foodbanks and you have a product with conscience, and good taste.

First Donut In Space

A couple of years ago we pitched a QSR on sending a burger into space. With a helium weather balloon. Filmed with a GoPro. And we'd film the entire making of and after events. We pitched it hard. Very hard. But, sometimes nothing you do can make an idea happen. So, it's nice to see these guys from Sweden do pretty much the exact same thing, but with a donut. And here's the video of the first donut in space. Too bad they didn't have the foresight to talk to Tim Hortons.

Woods Canada looks to hire Canadians to camp across the country – Calgary – CBC News

I remember talking about this idea years ago. Seriously. It's an idea my friends and I would talk about constantly when we were doing crown land free camp portage trips throughout Ontario. In fact, we spent a massive amount of time working through the details and "developing" a business plan. But once the trip was done we always returned to our jobs in advertising. Nice to see someone convinced a company to make it happen.

IKEA Share the Bathroom

IKEA Share The Bathroom post copy

Here's a campaign that has scratching our heads. How's it work. What's happening in the background. Anyone have a theory? Because we have a few. H/T to Jason Levine.

  • The site says it serves up an ad “at home” so maybe it’s using the master Google cookie to identify the location of two machines that at some point use the same node to connect to the internet? That would make some sense. Few people know about the master cookie… except the NSA (natch!). 
  • The whole thing could be a ruse, and the content you input is randomly served into Google ads. If that’s the case, they know that people rarely travel farther than 50km from their home base. That would allow them to serve up the ads based on geo-node, postal code, or IP location. It would be random, but deliver enough of them and you could increase the likelihood that an ad is seen.
  • Or, the likelihood of someone actually seeing the ad might be incredibly low… and the fact that they offer up a Twitter or Facebook alternative is the real objective. It would be interesting to see how many people do that.
  • It could also be using a behavioural targeting cookie. For example, Zappos makes extensive use of behavioural targeting. AND when you share an item, add it to your wishlist, or share that item with someone I think it captures that info and stores it in the cookie. Maybe IKEA does the same thing. So, cross-referencing several persistent cookies might allow them to cross-target to the IP or machine mac address.

Try it yourself, and let us know what you think they're doing. IKEA Share the Bathroom - IKEA.
