I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.

"They are cute, small, clean and relatively quiet. And they have the mad, fad-hungry Japanese going crazy.
What else could be tiny enough to fit in an office cubicle or pretty enough to give to a bride on her wedding day but a Chihuahua?
A growing craze has been unearthed and it is all thanks to a big-eyed Chihuahua called Que-chan.
Dressed in a black suit and tie, Que-chan won hearts and fans when it starred in a television commercial for a credit loan firm 12 months ago.
Since then, the cute canine has been the subject of a best-selling photo collection, a children's picture book and more than 200 other products including a soon-to-be-released CD album."
The advert: https://adland.tv/aiful-how-much-chihuahua-2002-30-japan
I thought it was an intentional homage to the 1992 ad - that they repeated it in 2002 anyway... (Maybe they can't afford New Ideas as they spend it all on famous tarts or something.)
another quote from the article;
"We don't have machines at my school anymore," says Lauren, who lives in San Francisco but was hanging out in Pacific Beach. "They also stopped serving them with hot lunches. Now they just sell Gatorade and water."
Gatorade and water?? What happened to Milk Does a body good?
