In retrospect, they realized they shouldn't have rebranded to nine-elevenga.

What choice did they have? “Crazy Osama’s Dubious Demolition Derby” couldn’t fit on the box without making the font too small too read.

Don't you mean 'Dubya's Dubious Demolition Derby'?

The competing product that won the market!

The wood had better graphics and a sweet southern charm.

The appetite for falling towers seems to have dropped for some reason after 2001. Could be anything really!

In retrospect, the Jenga Twin Towers edition was not the wisest marketing move at that point in time.

Jet fuel can't melt jenga sales!

Sales were going down, plummeted after 9/11, and then started going up for some reason? What caused the resurgence?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

if you ignore the dip, it wasnt so much of a resurgence, and just an unpause of the original downward trend.

9/11 was just a disruptor for i thik obvious reasons
