This was the Daily Candy posting that set off a wave of global publicity a few months after mypetfat was officially launched.
But I had no idea that it also appeared on CNN on April 21st of the same year...
You never know what you'll find when you do a Google search.

KAGAN: All right, Judy. Thank you so much for that.
We are looking at the diet industry, looking at creative ways that people claim they can help you lose weight. Water that says that it burns fat? And shoes that say it gets rid of your cellulite? I don't know about this. But we're going to look at some other big claims coming up, just ahead.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KAGAN: So you say you are tired of the treadmill or losing that low-carb battle? Why not get creative with your approach to weight loss? The Web site Daily Candy has some suggestions. They may not make you skinny, but at least it's fun to think about.
Danielle Romano from Daily Candy, joining us from New York.
Good morning.
DANIELLE ROMANO, DAILY CANDY: Good morning from New York, Daryn, how are you?
KAGAN: Well, I'm doing great.
I have to tell you, though, I'm shaking my head at some of these thing. Interesting and fun to go through. Let's get to as many as possible.
ROMANO: I hope so. Remember, dailycandy.com is about what's new, and hot and fun. It's not about what's scientific. It's all with a grain of salt.
KAGAN: Very important.
ROMANO: I know you want to start with fat. This is my pet fat. I have it here in the studio with me to keep me from eating doughnuts.
KAGAN: Nice fat.
ROMANO: You find this at mypetfat.com. It's all about making you think about, OK, if I gobble that down, it's probably going to look like this somewhere on my body, eventually.
KAGAN: Well you can...
ROMANO: So it's like a red string around your finger that reminds you, fat, not good, don't want.
KAGAN: Bad, bad fat. How many times have we gone out, done bad things, and said, well, just attach it to my thighs right now, you know.
ROMANO: Exactly, and this makes you remember that with a huge, visual reminder. There's a five-pound version that I think you here as well.
KAGAN: Yes, I have big fat here.
ROMANO: They're super sizing.
Stick that in your purse, please, and you'll never eat pizza again.
KAGAN: Yes. Well, yes, speak for yourself.
