The Not So CHEESY Sites



URBAN DECAY COSMETICS
www.urbandecay.com urban decay

Atmosphere:
Dank, murky and vaguely dangerous cityscape; the navigational buttons are cockroaches.
What's So Good About It?
With lip and nail colors like "bruise," "mildew" and "asphyxia," it's good to see some color samples. Bonus: quirky writing and truly cool links.



JOE BOXER UNDERWEAR
www.joeboxer.com go boxer...less binding

Atmosphere:
A funky carnival of silliness, with lots of people cavorting about in their boxers.
What's So Good About It?
Between the poodles, strong men and juggling fools, this good-humored site will actually manage to psyche you up about buying undies.



OSCAR-MAYER
www.oscar-mayer.com weiners

Atmosphere:
A weineriffic multiplex.
What's So Good About It?
Among other goodies, there's an interactive tour of the Weinermobile and a .wav file of the bologna song.



TWINKIES
www.twinkie.com twinkie

Atmosphere:
Twinkie the Kid in a Jetsonsesque atmosphere.
What's So Good About It?
Somewhat spartan site gets our kudos for embracing the T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project site rather than sending out the lawyers.



BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM
www.twinkie.com mmmmmm...

Atmosphere:
Caloric.
What's So Good About It?
No stone is left unturned. Find out where to pick up a pint in Ireland or Israel, preview new flavors or visit the flavor graveyard, the final resting place of failed flavors like Tennessee Mud.



COCA-COLA
www.cocacola.com adds life

Atmosphere:
A giant vending machine filled with endless surprises.
What's So Good About It?
A potpourri of carbonated treats including memorabilia classifieds, an online exhibit of international Coke bottle art and a semi-addictive Shockwave bowling game substituting Coke bottles for pins.



MARSHMALLOW FLUFF
www.marshmallow.com fluff

Atmosphere:
An all-American kitchen.
What's So Good About It?
Contrary to what you might expect, there's not a whole lot of fluff here; just solid information, like recipes and the company history, the famed Fluffernutter theme and even the opportunity to order a case of Fluff.



QUISP CEREAL
www.quisp.com quisp

Atmosphere:
Out-of-sight, out-of-this-world quaziness.
What's So Good About It?
It's just pretty cool that Quaker finally got hip to the fact that there's a huge audience for Quisp--even if it's only available in supermarkets in western New York state, Chicago and Milwaukee.



L.L. BEAN
www.llbean.com l. l. bean

Atmosphere:
A crisp afternoon in the great outdoors.
What's So Good About It?
In addition to the entire catalog online, there's loads of outdoors information, including a park search engine and outdoors advice.
