Throw Me the Schwag! No Time to Argue!
I make a living through marketing. I am also an unapologetic Indiana Jones nerd. It stands to reason then, that I should pop a ’short round’ over… Indiana Jones marketing. And that I will die alone.
- Indiana Jones Burger King kids meal? Check.
- Indiana Jones Pop Tarts? Check.
- Indiana Jones Lego? Check.
- Indiana Jones soda cans? You betcha.
- Indiana Jones playing cards? Heck yes.
- Indiana Jones birthday cake ‘boulderamas’? You know it.
- Indiana Jones stickers? File under: ‘fuck, yes’.
- Indiana Jones Lego? Duh.
- Indiana Jones M&Ms? Matt Johnson needed a break.
It gets better before it gets better. Have a look at the running list at the brilliantly named ThrowMeTheIdol.com. There hasn’t been a movie tie-in blitz of this scale since I was… much, much younger. I love it.
Just had a conversation with my roommate… I have recently introduced my new roomie to Big Trouble In Little China. We had a very introspective conversation on who would win in a fight - Jack Burton or Indy - surprisingly Jack Burton came out on top.
