Didn't recognize many of the companies, but of those I did, definitely had missed some of the hidden features :)

Thanks for sharing!!

Seems to be from MSN for those of us that like credits and/or websites instead of PDFs :)

If many people prefer links. I can supply those also. Or you can look in Properties -> Summary -> Comments, I generally put source links there.

Oh, it's just that I don't like to download stuff other than very deliberately, and especially not pdfs, and usually only if its something that I'm going to keep.  I think there are several others like that, so I googled it and found the original article :)

I enjoyed that a lot :up:

the PDF was great in this example to get the overview and avoid all those clicks.
But it would definitely be helpful to add the direct link to the post as well. (Only fair to the source as well.)

URL from original source would be preferable for me.

I have a hard time imagining that wasn't completely intentional...

Just came across that a minute ago and thought of this thread.

How could they not know there's a bear in toblerone?

I guess I'm too much of a logo person, all of these were immediately obvious to me - just like the fact that the london 2012 also mirrored a map of london...

Damn, I'm Swiss and have eaten tons of Toblerone ( according to Wikipedia, we Swiss have the highest per capita rate of chocolate consumption world wide ;) ) and I didn't know about the bear!
