'A Conversation of Inconclusive Results'

This is the story of a group of college kids out to have fun. As perhaps some readers of Brad OH Inc. can relate to, they end up imbibing heavily, and their discussion begins to steer towards some very metaphysical topics. Will the slobbering-drunk Ethan find the answers he’s looking for from his friends? Or will the conversation only lead him down a path lacking in intellectual succor entirely?In the year 2833, two friends Tyren and Reda set out to discover new worlds in the universe. They reach Planet Ziplo and get to explore the planet with the Mintrones that inhabit it. The Mintrones welcome Tyren and Reda and they have a great time together. All if well till a cataclysmic event occurs. The dark and evil Zonetrones want to get a hold of the power cube on planet Ziplo in the hope of increasing their own powers. This leads to an attack of planet Ziplo by the Zonetrones. The Mintrones fight the dark Zonetrones with the help of Tyren and Reda. To find out how this story unravels, read our book – THE DAY THE WORLDS MET. A Note from the Author This book was written to put into words the adventures of the Mintrones as my son imagined them. So it’s an effort of a mom to document her son’s thoughts. I have tried my best to bring his ideas alive here. The website www.mintrones.com offers a range of creature toys based on the characters in this book. This whole process of creating our company started when my son who is seven years old came to us and told us that he would love to create his own toys. He drew some sketches of the creatures that inhabited an alien world called Planet Ziplo. He imagined their abilities, their world and their adventures. We decided to go for it and create a range of toys based on his thoughts. In this process, he got to work with artists, prototype designers and even the manufacturer to some extent in the design of the toys. It was an awesome experience for a little guy to take what was an idea and see a tangible product come from it. We had a lot of fun in this process as well. We thought it would nice to give every child the same opportunity to be creative and enjoy being a part of an experience like this. From this was born the “Create Your Own Mintrone” Contest. Your child can enter a design of a mintrone into our contest. The entries get voted upon and the winners get to be our next great toy designers. They also get paid royalty every time a toy of their design is sold to help fund their college! We are out to impact the lives of our children in a positive way. So go ahead and be part of this journey. We hope you have a blast doing it!
