Nintendo Okie

Imagine for a moment that you’re Chris Mikulin, co-founder and owner of Caribou Lodge Yo-Yo Works (or clyw for short). You’ve spent the past few years earning your ranking as one of the top yoyo manufactures based on insanely high quality products and the amazing multi-colored anodizations that each yoyo gets before it leaves the shop. Well, you just got in the 200 piece order from your machinist of your yoyo, The Avalanche (a staple product in your line for some time now), but there’s a big problem. All of these raw, un-anodized yoyos have a strange vibration during play that shouldn’t be there. The machinist must have messed it all up! What do you do? The only thing you can do… Anodize them in solid colors to save on expenses and create a viral marketing scheme to make them fly off the shelves at a discounted price. But wait! They need a clever name so you don’t hurt your reputation by having a sub-par product that doesn’t live up to the original run from last year…

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fool’s Gold Avalanche is born!
