Transformers Weekend! Fun Facts from Redbox


Transformers: Dark of the Moon is smashing box office records this week, so redbox decided to review the rental data for all its Transformers titles (movies and video games) to identify which states have the touch or the ultimate love of Transformers.  Idaho, aka the Gem State, proved to hold the power of the AllSpark when it came to percentage of kiosk rentals dedicated to the Transformers franchise (2 movies on DVD and Blu-ray, and 2 video games across three major platforms).  Hawaii is surrounded by the ocean, so justlike Megatron’s fate in the 2007 Transformers movie, it sank to the bottom of the rental rankings.  The list of Autobots and Decepticons in the US according to rentals at redbox:   

The Autobots: Most Rented
1)      Idaho - Optimus Prime
2)      Utah
3)      Kansas
4)      Oklahoma
5)      Illinois
6)      Washington
7)      Oregon
8)      Pennsylvania
9-10) Tie between Kentucky and Louisiana

The Decepticons: Least Rented
1)      Hawaii - Megatron
2)      Arkansas
3)      Massachusetts
4)      Montana
5)      Wyoming
6)      Washington, DC
7)      Alabama
8)      South Carolina
9)      South Dakota
10)   Minnesota

Giving Hope to Millions of Mistreated, Orphaned Socks





GE Appliances launches sockloss.com

It’s the shocking discovery that every household has made while folding laundry - the mysterious lost sock. 
Millions go missing each year. Now we know why. 

L.O.S.S., the Laundered and Orphaned Sock Society, has determined the cause and created sockloss.com to bring this often occurring yet seemingly ignored phenomenon to light.  “This is going to address one of society’s oldest problems,” says Jennifer Schoenegge, product manager, clothes care at GE Appliances, “It delves into answering the question of why those socks go missing.”

At sockloss.com, you can watch the introductory video, “Escape,” which features a harrowing tale about one sock’s narrow getaway. 

Have you ever been a victim of sock loss? Has one of your favorite socks gone missing? Now’s your chance help stop this epidemic and find your sock! Report a missing sock and enter our “GE Sock L.O.S.S Sweepstakes” for a chance to win a GE Profile™ washer and dryer, with the exclusive overnight ready feature!

Concerned citizens can even take matters into their own hands by creating their own missing socks’ posters.  L.O.S.S. allows you to perfectly design the lost sock’s image and display it as your Facebook profile picture to help spread the word. Families can also call 1-855-762-5642 to report missing socks and get emotional support.
You don’t have to keep quiet any longer. 

If you pull on a sock one morning and find that its companion is missing and this becomes a pattern, you may need to invest in preventative measures.  You can fight this sock loss battle with the right GE Profile washer and dryer.
Behind the informative and myth debunking L.O.S.S., proudly stands GE Appliances laundry products.

The Connection between L.O.S.S. and GE Appliances
This new breed of entertainment is GE’s creative way of showcasing the benefits of their frontload and topload Profile washers and dryers, while keeping it fun.
“We want this L.O.S.S. site and video to be a share-worthy online experience for folks, especially since everyone has encountered the missing sock phenomenon,” says Schoenegge. 

Get involved, share the experience, and you may be rewarded with a year’s supply of Tide® detergent or a free GE Profile laundry pair.  Each person that interacts with the campaign and forwards it to their personal network enters themselves into a sweepstakes. 

Let’s keep our socks together.  They’ve been together since the beginning and with GE; they can be together through to their holey-heeled demise. 
To learn how you can stop sock loss, visit www.sockloss.com.

Knockers - A Great Tailgating Game for Football Season

About the Game
Knock it off! Knockers is a portable backyard/tailgating game that is easy to set up and fun to play! Teams compete by throwing a flying disk at the Knocker, trying to knock it off, while the opposing team attempts to catch the Knocker and the flying disk. Knockers comes in a reusable carry case that allows you to easily take it to your favorite sporting event. It's fun for the whole family! The newest tailgate game sensation!


My Take on the GameI love a good tailgate and along with tailgating comes tailgating games. I have played a number of them over the years, from ladderball to simply tossing around the old pigskin, they all were fun. I was excited to find this game out from little kids inc. I brought the game to a neighborhood gathering and the neighbors (and I) had a blast. This game was definitely a hit to the party and will be a game I bring with me to the tailgating parties that I will be going to this fall. On a different note, one thing that I really liked about this was the carry case that it came in. Lightweight and portable, this game was made for ease of travel. So if you are looking for a great game this tailgating season, look no further than Knockers.
