A funny piece, but note that the copyright on the story is 2003, about the time of the change in corporate structure. Big Idea's problem wasn't sales, since they are still going strong ("Minnesota Cuke" is the latest upcoming release). They expanded way too fast, a problem common to companies started and headed by creative guys instead of business guys, and were really a victim of their own success. Now that they have more stable management, while retaining the creative team, expect them to continue doing wonderful work.

My kids were raised on Veggies, and I'm glad they'll be around for a while.
