How the hell did it manage to survive for so long? 

Schoolbooks from ~1850 or later remain incredibly common, to the point where there is very little collector's market for them. I generally see five or six in a day, most of which are rejected as not being worth selling, as nobody wants them.

Russia, Shonus, Russia. Or USSR, rather. The older textbooks might have been treated as... ideologically incompatible.

[Lord Shonus]

Ah. That hadn't occured to me, although I do get quite a few such books in Russian (unfortunately we do not sell any books in Russian, Greek, or most Asian languages because neither the employees or the computers comprehend the characters).

This Twitter. (relatively new)

Did they get hacked, is this a fake, or is Nature Valley seriously going Tumblr and dedicating its Twitter to anime screencaps?

They say that Nature Valley's PR just went all anime to win the hearts of anime fans around.

It's probably attracting more attention than pictures of national parks did, at any rate.

Behold! The power of memetics.

If I were a PR firm, that's how I would do it. Doesn't matter what you're selling, associate your brand with something really popular, and you'll sell a lot more of it. Sure, tv commercials and web ads are fine and good, but if, say, Purina started making doge ads, I guarantee they would get way more effective marketing for at least a third the cost of your average marketing campaign.

I don't even like granola bars, but the professor made me want one.

This is evil.

Depends on the individual. I would boycott any company using doge :I

I see no ship waifus, so I'm buying zero granola bars.

Yeah, it can work, or you can suddenly get a massive internet backlash.

Fix'd for marketing mindset.

I don't know what the hell that Nature Valley thing even is, but I now hate it to the very bottom of my being.

That's pretty deep emotion to be directed at granola.
