Product extensions we want to see

Who did Benjamin Franklin turn to when he was thirsty? Kool-Aid man — at least according to the bizarre alt-history envisioned by The Adventures of Kool-Aid Man. The comic book/product-placement vehicle encouraged readers to follow Kool-Aid Man “as he battles the thirsties (yellow spiky suns with green tongues and mad eyes) through time and on a camping adventure.” Because everybody goes camping to unwind after a wearisome travel through the ages.

In light of Eat Daily’s nod to the comic book, Fat City began to wonder what other product extensions might find success if they were to be created today. So get out your Sharpies, R+D departments, these are winners.
