26-MAR-2008 Alan Mars (Again, No Relation)

Snickers/Mars

My take on a scene from an episode of Seinfeld. Yes, it was a Snickers Bar too. The M & M's are cast as Extras in this shot.

I cropped it a little tighter and thats about as tight as I can get it without losing the theme here. That wrapper is pretty close to being 1/4 of the photo. If you don't think it is then go ahead & delete it.

Please respond with whether you think a logo fills up 1/4 of this image, Alan, so I'll know your opinion. Thanks, ~Lydia

I think there's a misunderstanding about the 1/4 rule. The logo or trademarks in the image must occupy 1/4 of the total image. I'm being a bit lenient on it in other images. The only logo I see in the image is the Snickers logo on the wrapper... But, if you feel that the logo takes up 1/4 of the entire image, we'll leave it here, Alan. I'm easy. *smile*
Sounds like a funny show. *grin* ~Lydia

I cropped it a little tighter. I figured the wrapper and the candy bar would represent the Snickers logo and again the wrapper/candy bar with the M & M's in the bowl would represent the Mars trademark. In some way, 1/4 of the image includes a trademark or 2.

The particular Seinfeld episode (could also be a trademark) I'm referring to here was called "The Pledge Drive" (Season 6, Episode 3) in which this particular scene Elaine's boss (Mr.Pitt) pulls a Snickers bar out of his pocket, pulls off the wrapper, and starts carving it with a knife & fork and eats it as if it were a steak dinner. The scene evolves to the point where at the end of the show, at their favorite restaurant, everyone is eating chocolate bars with a knife & fork.

I don't watch Seinfeld, so I'm missing the storyline... but LOL at your M&Ms making a replay as co-stars. Unfortunately, the logo does not fill up 1/4 of the entire image, so must either be reshot or cropped to meet the challenge. I'm sorry. *sigh* ~Lydia
