A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a Book It button being on eBay for just $1 but I didn’t bid on it mainly because it wasn’t the exact one that I remember seeing when I was younger.
By sheer coincidence (or maybe fate), I happened upon the exact button that I had in mind while I was at Duke’s Lexington Antiques Center in Virginia yesterday. It was buried under a whole mess of other buttons going for only $1 so I snatched it up and now it is in my posession. It’s in great condition (meaning, no rust) and the pin on the back is still intact and sharp enough to attach onto bags and clothing. But the most wonderful part is tilting the button from your view and watching as the rainbow in the background moves ever so slightly back and forth. Ahh, memories!

If any of you want a large 3″ button from Book It, you can buy one on eBay for $1 (plus $1.95 shipping). I want the Book It button that had a changing picture on it when you angled it differently, but nobody is selling that one. I can’t even find a picture of it (if you have one from way back, please photograph and send to me please!).

In an effort to remain afloat in this ailing economy, Pizza Hut has decided to re-brand some of their stores as “The Hut”.
IDSGN reports that Pizza Hut spokesman Chris Fuller has confirmed that the name change is only a marketing effort and not a permanent change for all stores.
I like their new all-red pizza boxes, but not so much their new (or old) logo. Doesn’t the name remind you of Jabba The Hut?
