    Since they only last 72 hr they should sell them in quantity in bags. Maybe even different sizes of bags, a small fun bag for short tours, a large family size for the long summer tours?

    Best line:

    "We had already embraced the confusion behind a company that made a brown pick with a blue name. Adding another color seemed like a logical next step for us," Goins said.

    Good one!

    You guys don’t know how to play along at all.

    And here I was hoping someone would laugh at my “bag of chips” implication...

    This is great. I’ve long felt guilt about the picks I don’t use and are made of plastic. Now there is a solution for the pick that will likely outlast me. Rise up pickers it’s a brand new day!

    They are anything you wish them to be. Everyone deserves their own dream today.

    That's pretty good. I love the recycle logo.

    I hardly come to this site anymore. No negative reason, it's just worked out that way. But knowing it was April 1, I logged on just to see what Scott had come up with. He's come up with some doozies over the years.

    I think when the site is having some big anniversary, Scott should do a retrospective of all the April Fools gags.

Everything else then became much more believable. Nicely written!

    For Cinco de Mayo, perhaps a Taco Blue Chip? (Or a blue taco chip). Comes in a big family bag. 35 pesos/bag.

    I really like the green color-perhaps Blue Chip can figure out a way to actually make that color - it WOULD make them easier to find!
