Today was a fun, playful day as Starbucks introduced its new sizes – Plenta and Micra, and Google decided to give props to one of my former hometowns by changing their name to Topeka.  I’m sure there were plenty of other fun pranks out there from similar high-profile companies, but these are the two I happened across today.

Some of my coworkers actually believed the Starbucks one and I’m sure many people wished the Plenta was for real.  After all, that’s about how much coffee they could power through in a day.  I really enjoyed the quirky uses they suggested for both sizes after you’re done with your drink and that picture of the two guys is brilliantly hilarious.  How could anyone take that seriously?  Lol.

The Google one taught me something I didn’t know about (which isn’t surprising, since Google – excuse me, Topeka is always coming up with crazy new products).  Their concept of that sort of ultra-fast internet connection could propel us even further into developing cool new technologies and ways of virtual interaction.  I’m imagining something straight out of Star Wars here, with holographic 3D images.  Can’t help it.

Oh, and a random unrelated thought – all 5 of my iPhone app updates today were iPad related.  Not like that does me any use!
