Just published a short marketing lesson that can be inhaled in 60 seconds, and digested for as long as you like.
Yes, I am shamelessly promoting my own marketing blog Taste As Real.

Sorry, No Art Today.
You know. It´s one of those days.
So Amazon think they have me figured out? Hah! Well I´ll show them who knows how my brain works. After I´ve purchased the three new recommendations they found for me that is.
Mr Beezos. It seems you are a very good at this algorithm thingy. Hat tip.
PS Best book last year about thinking and the irrational human being? Daniel Kahneman is your man.

Randy has, over time, worked out a really fiendish Cap´n Crunch eating strategy that revolves around playing the nuggets´most deadly features against each other. The nuggets themselves are pillow-shaped and vaguely striated to echo piratical treasure chests.
Now, with a flake-type of cereal, Randy´s strategy would never work. But then, Cap´n Crunch in a flake form would be suicidal madness; it would last as long, when immersed in milk, as snowflakes sifting down into a deep fryer. No, the real engineers at General Mills had to find a shape that would minimize surface area, and, as some sort of compromise between the sphere that is dictated by Euclidian geometry and whatever sunken-treasure-related shapes that the cereal-aestheticians were probably clamoring for, they came up with this hard-to-pin-down striated pillow information. The important thing, for Randy´s purposes, is that the individual pieces of Cap´n Crunch are, to a very rough approximation, shaped kind of like molars. The strategy, then, is to make the Cap´n Crunch chew itself by grinding the nuggets together in the center of the oral cavity, like stones in a lapidary tumbler.
From the novel Cryptonomicon by the utterly brilliant Neal Stephenson.
