Welcome to the latest sensational contest from Popula, the Face That Quote! contest, which ended on July 15th, 2001.
Anyone could enter, except for Popula employees, members of the Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau and anyone remotely affiliated with Olympia, that ill-mannered dog across the street.
The contest was open until July 15th, 2001. The winner was selected shortly thereafter by drawing from a hat, vat, pot, cauldron or whatever other sufficiently large opaque container found lying around Popula's Summer HQ.
The winner received a stunning pair of vintage bookends, plus the highly sought-after Popula mug and a matching twinset consisting of a T-shirt and a pair of Boxer shorts emblazoned with the infamous Popula logo and slogan ("Where'd you get that?"). More importantly, the winner also receives eternal accolades from anyone with an ounce of taste and membership in the highly exclusive club of people who have won a Popula contest. (Little known but highly significant fact: Fewer people have won the Popula contest than have won the Nobel Prize for Literature).
