I’m especially proud of this one. How do you market broken candy?
Jim’s Bag of Broken Candy from Archie McPhee
Jim the Graphic Designer was shocked when he saw we were throwing out broken candy. “What a waste,” he said, “broken candy tastes the same as unbroken candy! It’s a little harder to eat when it’s in pointy shards, but so what?” Then Jim had an idea, why not sell it to less discriminating customers? So now Jim goes out and collects all the broken candy and puts it into plastic bags. You get two pounds of candy for $7.23 and Jim sleeps better at night, secure in the knowledge that all that sugar has found a loving home.

My proudest moment at work. Prancing, wearing an Inflatable Unicorn Horn and chasing a cat.
Me with the original Dr. Zaius costume from Planet of the Apes. It appeared to be freshly laundered despite Charlton Heston calling him damn dirty.
For Christmas this year, I got my whole family t-shirts with my face on them. Earlier in the year Jim Koch had to draw me for a video at work and as a joke I made a t-shirt of myself for myself. Now, I’m super famous in Ohio and my family looks amazingly fashionable!

Shana and I did a little video to demonstrate the new products at Archie McPhee.
Talented artist Jim Koch recently started working for Archie McPhee. We’re working on a video project that required a graphic of me and he made this. Love it! I bet he wishes I was an evil clown.
The popular rock band Gorillaz used our Yodelling Pickle sound on an album. We said it was fine if they gave it away to their fan club, but if they sold it on an album we’d have to talk again. They decided to sell it without talking to us. So, we made a commercial with it. Enjoy! (That’s me as the chicken.)
