I’ve seen “Easter Eggs”(secret messages/items) hidden in movies, television shows and other media, but I was just told about one in the online parts catalog for O’Reilly Auto Parts: If you do a search for part #121G, this pops up.
Are there others out there from unexpected retail stores?
we did something similar for “Back to the Future” day. The option price was $1.21 million, naturally.
But that’s only 1.21 megadollars. $1.21 trillion would have been better.
Yeah but no one would pay that much for a Focus
Reminds me of BatteryBob.com: dilithium batteries.
ThinkGeek of course does annual April Fool’s items, some of which later become real items do to popular demand.
you know they need to gimp the site … you can actually pay for them
You try first. There’s one that’s only $10,000 if that’s better.
if i still had my credit cards id try it just to see how long it would take for them to have a laugh and rush to let the company know its a joke
not retail, but I think I might have found an easter egg in Chrome. or might be a coincidence.
if you’ve watched Last Action Hero, there’s a scene where the kid is trying to explain to Jack Slater (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) who he really is and that they’re actually in a movie. Slater dismisses him with a snarky “I’m the famous comedian, Arnold Braunschweiger” after which the kid corrects him “Schwarzenegger.”
elsewhere I was dropping a comment and typed “braunschweiger” which Chrome underlined as misspelled. Right click on it, and it offers to correct it to “Schwarzenegger.”
Happens in Firefox, too.
:dubious: Howzabout $1.21 billion?
