The UPS result for brown on google is the Brown Cafe at: http://browncafe.com/ups.shtml
It's quite funny that they offer video poker on the site for their employees. http://browncafe.com/poker/index.shtmlPosted by: spudart on Feb 15, 05 | 9:14 am
i think it is an interesting marketing move. i mean, brown is not really used much as an identifying branding tool. usually companies go with more conventional color schemes, like blue or orange or red or green. brown IS a color to uniquely define UPS. who else uses brown in their branding? even coffee companies use non-brown colors [starbucks: green, caribou: light blue, seattle's best: red].

i like brownies with powdered sugar, no nuts.
sheesh, the new commercials have been running less than a year. takes a while to build brand awareness.

I like brownies with powdered sugar, no nuts too. Sometimes I like chocolate chips in my brownies, but I don't like it when they sink to the bottom

no nuts in brownies! too distracting! however, i have made brownies with a cheesecake filling that was quite delicious.

UPS deliverypeople should always deliver free brownies with every package. THEN, UPS would be better know as "brown". (Then again, I'd say anything to get a free brownie.)
maybe they would deliver "magic" brownies, with a special ingredient. then people would suddenly not care if their delivery was late.

I would appreciate just getting any brownie. Magic or not.

That's funny, I just got some "Magic Brownies" in the mail yesterday from a friend for my birthday. They are from Zingerman's in Ann Arbor http://www.zingermansbakehouse.com
I don't think they are the "magic" brownies you guys are talking about. The only ingredients listed are sugar, eggs, flour, chocolate, butter, walnuts [!] vanilla, baking powder and salt.
Yes, unfortunately they have walnuts in them. But I still appreciate the gesture. Posted by: Tom on Feb 23, 05 | 5:50 am
Just trying to check on a package that was sent.

Karen, you'll want to check http://www.ups.comPosted by: spudart on Oct 18, 05 | 8:02 am
They probably decided on Brown because they aren't worth sh*t. I've never had a problem with DHL. Like EVER. But 5 out of 6 times that someone has shipped something to me via UPS it's gotten screwed up.
