Oh, yeah. The Pringles stuff. I forgot about those. We had a can of Pringles a while back that had an Aragorn picture from ROTK on it. And a number to enter the contest that Failivrin mentioned. I think I've even heard of gummy candies shaped like LOTR characters, but that may just be rumor or garbled memory. Which leads us to an important point: even though it gives LOTR publicity, I think Tolkien would have hated all of the media hype and publicity. But most of us on the Downs live in the Western hemisphere, where things like this happen. And mollecon has a point- at least we didn't see posters on the walls of Moria promoting McDonald's Big Macs.
