pass the relish

We here at Relish spend our days toiling in the vast world of the interwebs so I’m sure you’ll be shocked to hear that we also spend much of our downtime trolling the web as well. Being immersed in all things digital, we like to give props to those who have successfully executed cool sites or apps. Here’s a list of our favourites from 2010 (in no particular order):

Yes, I know. Plush toys aren’t exactly a new innovation. Not even ones that spit out some sort of lame audio track on impact. But I couldn’t help but be filled with nintendo fanboy glee when i threw a novelty-sized shell across the room at an unsuspecting bystander, followed by the trademarked ‘shell knocking’ noise, and a 1up sound clip. The coin block makes the predictable coin noise, but nintendo has done it again by slotting in a randomized ‘mushroom’ noise to get you going… or …
