Wondering exactly what a windorphin is? According to Ebay’s latest online ad campaign “windorphs are addictive substances in the body that are triggered during victorious moments (ie. winning the spelling bee, lottery etc). After a big win windorphins deliver a general sensation of unabashed joy in the brain, leading to heightened energy, exuberance and outright slam dunk high-five behavior.”
Randomly enough, Ebay has tracked the shopping behavior of its users and posted a list of the brands deemed as “top windorphin activators” in the jeans category:
(Average Price Paid Also Included)
- Gap: $9
- Lucky: $20
- Seven, Mankind: $52
- American Eagle: $11
- True Religion: $75
- Abercrombie & Fitch: $14
- Levi Strauss: $8
- Rock & Republic: $85
- Destroyed: $25
- Ralph Lauren: $12
Looks like Nike is bringing back some old running classics in a big bad way. To “kick” off their newest vintage line they inserted an iron on patch in print publications for a little DIY action.
As for the style… expect “1970s grade nylon, weird swooshes, aged laces, and weathered foam.” Word on the street is they also just added some new styles as part of their NikeID customization initiative.

It looks like Scion is at it again. First stickers, then magnets, then scratch offs and now Barf Bags. Looks like the purpose of these bags are to prevent “hyperventilation due to the exciting new design of the 2008 xB.”
At first I was confused since the double sided bag facing the front of the ad was labeled “Barf Bag” so I just assumed that Scion was preparing me for a really high price tag or an ugly design BUT it turns out once you flip it over the bag is re-labed as “Hyperventilation Bag”. Immediately after realizing that I was so excited I almost puked.
Anyway, if you are wondering what the actual car looks like imagine a baby VW Golf swallowing a giant box.
