And now it’s really on! There were some thrilling, heated contests in round one. The survivors square off in round two of the Bracket Challenge of Everything:
Region #1
1. Back Rubs
Because, who doesn’t like a good back rub, hmmm? |
vs. |
8. Billy Mays
 
 By all rights, he should be extremely annoying, but instead he actually made you want to buy things. So he must have something going on.
|
5. New Car Smell
 
 Whether it’s your car or not, always great. |
vs. |
13. Good Parking Place
Wait, is that a handicapped spot? It’s not! Woo-hoo! |
3. The Microwave Oven
So common it’s taken for granted, but goodness, how many inventions have been better than this? I would’ve starved to death in college. |
vs. |
6. Broken-In Jeans
For those of us who remember when you couldn’t buy jeans that were already broken-in, this is especially sweet. |
2. Naps
We fight them as kids, but part of maturity is learning that naps are totally sweet. |
vs. |
7. Found Money
How awesome is it when you’re going through your pockets and you find folding money? |
Region #2
1. The Beach
Where do people who live at the beach go on vacation? And why? |
vs. |
8. Losing 10 Pounds
  When those pants start fitting again, it’s like getting new pants!
|
4. Harry Potter Books   How many books to people line up at midnight to buy? |
vs. |
5. Pandora / iTunes / Your Favorite Music Service    When you think of great 21st century innovations, freer access to lots of music has got to be close to the top. |
2. 21st Birthday
The king of birthdays. |
vs. |
7. Having a Good Comeback
When you think of it in time to use it, instead of three days later. |
Region #3
1. Laughing
A strong #1 seed to say the least. |
vs. |
9. Baseball Caps
Dress ’em up; dress ’em down. Always in fashion. |
11. Nerf
  Let’s you throw things inside! As hard as you can!

Men like to look at them, and based on the absurd prices, I’m assuming that women like to buy them. |

On my shoulder, makes me happy. |
vs. |
10. A Good High-Five
A bad one can be tragic, but a good one can really make your day. |
Region #4

9. Your Own Private Bathroom
Go without one of these for a while and it will take on a whole new meaning. |
4.Candy
It’s for more than just Halloween.
|
vs. |
5. Coffee
  I’m not as big a fan as most people, but I think 2/3 of the US economy is based on it now.
|
2. Winning
As in, winning a game or contest of some kind (Not, like, winning at life or anything as grand as that. Keeping it simple here, folks.) |
vs. |
7. Giving / Getting Flowers
  The only thing I know about women: they like flowers.
