Whoa! The judges are positively zipping on a contact high after browsing your manifold attempts to Show us a brand name, logo, and package design for a caffeinated breakfast food. Eventually we stopped twitching long enough to agree on the following winners:
First Prize - $100
heather8 - Booster Bagels
That reminds us, we've got a great recipe for sun-dried-tomato-and-pseudoephedrine cream cheese.
Second Prize - $50
killingtime - Awaken Bacon
If that buzzed-out bacon mascot is original work, nice job! If not, we will destroy you and all you hold dear!
Third Prize - $20
mnementh - Honey Bunches of No-Doz
Sweet Jesus indeed! This is the one we'd choose from the crowded shelf of caffeinated cereals.
Honorable Mention
KMA2 - Marshmallow Dew Power Crunch
Who needs yellow stars, blue diamonds, or white crosses?
wonderstew - Blitzkrieg Berry Blast
For once, the judges fell for a gimmicky animation. We regret nothing.
McGuffy - Pep Tarts
Keep that toaster setting on "low" - nothing smells worse than burnt coffee.
SailorSpoon - Eggo Guarana
Leggo my stimulants!
plinth - Jolt Instant Breakfast
Putting the "fast" in "breakfast."
guiseppi - Sizzleine
Not for those with heart conditions.
ThrowingChicken - Red Bull Baby Food
Funnier than the ad campaign it parodies. Madison Avenue is calling.
GEG2 - NoDoza
Put that on your toast and spread it.
Festivegod - Kola Nut Cheerios
Chinua would be proud.
Champions' Championship Champion
tgentry - CocaYogurt
Ha! Culture shock! We get it! Took us a minute, but still!
We don't usually like to reward blatant attempts to win the Monkey Prize
- we prefer the serendipity of unselfconscious, semicompetent
weirdness. But this week, we figured this inexplicable effort from ckjacks was, at the very least, apropos of the season:
Whew! Before we crash, let's get this out of the way: if you created a money-winning entry, please email your Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com. The Monkey winner should send his/her mailing address to the same, and Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. Until next time, remember to drink some uncaffeinated water once in a while, OK?
