Lion candy bars
The Big Reveal
I’ve held you in suspense for two weeks now, and I’m sure you’re all dying of curiosity to know the make and model of the license plate. Dying.
I love that so many of you instantly thought of the Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! commercial. My mind never went there, but apparently the car’s owner’s did. It was indeed a Red Mazda.
I thought surely someone would guess the make, but alas, no one.
So, want to see the picture?
A red Mazda MX5 Convertible. Beautiful piece of work, isn’t it?
Stina Lindenblatt from Seeing Creative was the first one to guess Red Mazda, so I hearby proclaim her as our winner! A Lion bar will be on its way post haste. 🙂
And just for fun, here’s my license plate of the day:

You knew it had to come up . . . but darned if I didn’t see even one personalized plate in France. Yeah, I think that’s just not done there. Probably because the French spend all their energy learning to park in impossible places:
Why bother thinking up a creative 8-letter (or whatever it is in France) commentary about yourself when no one will be able to see the plate half the time anyway?
Actually, I’m wondering if personalized plates are an exclusively American thing. I’d love it if all of you who live in other countries would confirm or correct my opinion. (Please!)
Anywho . . . since there are more than enough creative plates here in Virginia to make up for it, I’ve decided on a compromise. Here’s how it will work:
- I will post a super fun license plate I found here, in the U.S.
- You will guess the color, make, and model of the car (like usual).
- The first person to get all three right wins a French candy bar. A Lion bar to be exact.
Good, yes? Because I have to say that I’m sacrificing a lot by sharing my limited supply of Lion bars with you. You can’t get these in the U.S., and they are SUPER yummy!
So on to the important stuff. I saw this car parked at the grocery story, and I was grinning the whole time I was there. You may laugh, but as a children’s writer, I’m trying to take lessons from my audience. We should all let something so simple make us happy.
And, the license plate du jour:
On your mark. Get set. Guess!
