MARKETING GENIUS??
--------------------------------------------------------------------
    The fast food chain phenominon founded on the planet of Tatooine
known as Bantha Burgers has found itself in a bit of a marketing
mess.  Only four days after the release of a Merry Meal prize called
Sandy Babies the galaxy renown chain has announced failure to meet
demand.  This is excerpt from last evenings news release:
    "Bantha Burgers regrets that it's initial creation of Sandy
Babies was far from meeting demand.  Over one billion Sandy Babies
were delivered across the galaxy. & within only 96 standard hours, one
billion Sandy Babies were rushed from our shelves & into your homes.
You can rejoice in knowing that by the end of my remarks the first
"batch" of the Sandy Baby- WompRat toy will be leaving production to
a store near you...  The rest of the line of 6 popular Sandy Baby
toys will be completed & delivered within the week.  Bantha Burgers
thanks you for your patience & patronige. & remember 'Sandy Babies-
are coming en Force'."
     As that press meeting concluded Bantha Burgers lead speaker
tossed "Wompy" the WompRat toys into the croud of reporters & I am
happy to say I retrieved one for my little girl, Tatta.
     Who would think that a small cotten bag shaped in the image of
Tatooine critters & filled with Tatooine sand would draw such
crowds...  The galaxy may never know- You heard it first...

     "...time will tell & so will we...
This has been Arriot Fuches reporting for the Cross/Sector..."

    About the Article:
I had heard a similar story on McDonald's "Beanie Babies" so I
translated to Tatooine & Bantha Burgers & the article wrote itself.
