Skype's backup business model: Candy!

Ok, Skype officially wins the prize for oddest Valentine's Day promotional swag. (Disclosure: We ate a couple of the candies. They were minty.)

Now if only "Skype Me" had a dirtier connotation...

Somehow i knew Peter was the one who wrote this as soon as i saw the headline :P

And who says 'Skype Me' can't have a dirtier connotation!

Skype Me doesn't have a dirty connotation? Well, it does now.

Skype Me! Oohh yes! That's the spot! Keep skyping!

'Skype me' sounds like something a lady would say while getting a pap smear.

That's the best dirty-connotation I can think of :(

I heard R. Kelly likes to Skype on young women.

but that's just what i heard.

Sweet;)

Word is the back of the candy says "With Intel"

[Dementis @ Feb 14th 2006 10:44PM]

You know, "Skype Me" always did sound dirty to me. I can't quite put my finger on why.

Yeah, they are also giving away ten free minutes of skypeout today only.

Skype was actually selling those candies? That is amusing. I think saying "skype me" is a dirty connotation.

how is Skype pronounced? Is it Sky Pee? (as in IP) or is it just pronounced as rhyming with "ripe".

[Teller @ Feb 16th 2006 3:03AM]

Skype rhymes with ripe.
