From RosaNegra:
I thought to share with you these cool LoTR goodies I found today inside Marinela’s cookies and candy bread, one of the most important Mexican companies. (www.marinela.com.mx)
These things are named DGD2 (don’t ask me why) and are pretty popular among kids. Marinela is used to release a series of DGD2 from the kid’s major movies (like Disney ones) and TV series like Pokemon or Digimon.

LoTR series has 30 different DGD2 (which is a pretty decent number) I can describe them as tiny freezbies. Some of them have The One Ring you can remove from the inner circle (that has a character photo). You put The One Ring in a notch from the inner circle and if you throw it, they fly like a freezbie.
Thanks to Fabrizio for the news that FOTR will debut on Uruguay’s cinemas on the 4th of January.

Kristi reminds people in the States that “A Passage To Middle Earth: The Making Of The Lord Of The Rings” is on SciFi Channel Sunday December 9th at 8pm EST. The SciFi Channel website lists the rerun dates as well.
From Australia, Colin says “…let Aussie Ringers know that the Quest for the Ring special will be shown on Channel 9 on Saturday 22nd of December. I would express a word of caution though, because I’ve heard it has quite a bit of spoiler-ish material.”
We posted this one but nobody saw it – we keep getting emails saying ‘why don’t you post this great article?’ Another meditation on the power of the book. [More]
