The Raft of God

According to BBC News today.... Steve "Jobs unveiled a raft of products"... that got me thinking that most products are unveiled on podiums, platforms, tables, but rarely rafts. I felt honored to be witness to one of the few raft unveilings in modern history (since the Grapes of Rafts campaign in 1939) .... I would love to see Hormel's latest Chipotle Chili unveiled in a yellow, rubber raft floating through a sea of shredded cheddar. And why limit yourself to the raft when you could squeeze new pudding lines out of that little hole in a soccer ball or dramatically open the door to a big, yellow school bus to unveil a cascading wave of the new, Mauve M&M.
