I'll Drink to That!!!
by Gary Woods

What if you could get your picture on a bottle of Soda Pop? Okay, it's not the coolest thing in the world but it still might be fun for a birthday or anniversary. Well Jones Soda (www.myjones.com) will do just that for you. You'll have to do a little editing of your photo but once you've got it right, drop it in an email along with $30 plus shipping and you'll get a case of pop with 12 personalized sodas.

What about if you've always dreamed about being in a band and wanted full sized posters that you could display on your wall? If this is your idea of heaven there's a company called Rattle-n-Roll (www.rattle-n.roll.com) that can get you on the way to Rock and Roll stardom, at least in your own living room. It's not cheap, but for $200 you'll get 2 11X17 posters with additional prints going for $10 each. Or, for $250 you'll get 2 posters and a pack of 50 8.5X5.5 inch photos. Who knew was this close at hand?

Finally if you're looking for a little light in a dark world check out Light Affection (www.lightaffection.com). They will carve your image into a piece of hard, translucent resin, frame it in black wood, and mount it on a night light. For only $40 when you wake up in the middle of the night you can see yourself staring back at you.
