I was a runner up for Another Thing Considered this week. No mug, but I did get a shout out on NPR.

I’m disappointed. I entered an earlier contest – Prehistoric Toothpaste Brands – and didn’t even get my suggestions rwead on the air. I thought they were much better than most of the ones that were.:  
1.) Tom’s of Olduvai

2.) GlyptoDent

3.) Arm and Hammerstone
