Crackheads / Jitterbeans on Jeopardy!
by John on April 26th, 2010 at 11:44 AM 0 Comments
Hello World,
We love board games, absolutely love them. Lately we have been playing Pit, Rumicube, and non board game Tip Cup. It's nice to know the folks at Jeopardy think enough of Crackheads to feature Crackheads Candy in a question on their Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 Show #5904, in the $2000 category, "Perkin Up" section of the Double Jeopardy round.
A big thank you to the Jeopardy crew and Mr. Trebek. Also a big shout out to Hillary for getting the question right!

New sponsorships
We are proud to have been sponsoring numerous LAN events and gaming systems around the country the past year with Crackheads and Crackheads2, some are:
and we are excited to have recently sponsored
Rhett Bobzien
an exceptional athlete and power lifter than competes in the Highland Games:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_games
http://www.scottishmasters.org/mwc2008results.html
He is the highest ranking amateur in his class. We think Jitterbeans will help Rhett throw entire trees, launch boulders, and hurl burlap sacks of straw higher than anyone else in 2009!
Do you have anything that you love to do and want to feel the warm glow of being sponsored? Perhaps you have a hidden talent that allows you to draw Picassos with your tongue, or perform high level mathematical calculations in your mind? Maybe you have telepathy, or know Oprah, or can kickflip back lip a double kink, or do a ho-ho. Drop us a line, we would like to get you some candy.
Osmanium happenings
We are moving to a larger facility and are happy to report that we have added some new sales positions, warehousing, and marketing people. We are also working on new product development, an education section for the website, and trying to not eat all of our products before it ships out. We also choose a new logo for Osmanium:
This comes from Bill Barder, an old animator for the Tiny Toons cartoon show

That is all for now, thank you for you enjoy our products! Please let us know if you have any comments, questions, concerns, or ideas.
