This book isn't just for marketers but is a fun read for anyone, especially those who manage employees, to figure out how they can help their staff by maximizing what others would perceive as weaknesses.
My favorite story is the software company who uses people with autism as software testers because what others would perceive as weak makes them excel at their job.

Turning "celebration of differences" to productivity A very easy reading book, packed with real-company examples to prove the points around the idea that you do much better by being very good at what you're good at than by trying to copy what the most venerated institution is able to afford to do but usually doesn't.
For a small entity there are plenty enough potential customers to thrive by being great at your core offering and by turning less-effective elements into points of differentiation. Aug 14, D. Eugene rated it it was amazing. Embracing My differences Truly enjoyed the book with great examples and stories about others with weirdness. This book shows that being yourself is the best and most honest approach to life, work and play.
Thanks for the great advise and fun laughs Eugene Thompson. May 31, Richard Conner rated it it was amazing. In Pink Goldfish, Stan Phelps and David Randall provide fresh perspective on brand differentiation and team development. I love the F. Also, they shared excellent examples to emphasize their philosophy on differentiation.

Each cracker was also a lot flatter than your standard Goldfish -- almost deflated. This is an alternative worth skipping; when you want Goldfish, you eat Goldfish.
Why mess with this inferior option? For those who haven't been tuned into the nuances of 21st-century Goldfish, they now have a full line of fish-shaped graham crackers that look like Goldfish, but feel and taste much like Teddy Grahams. Well, except for the whole grain versions.
Like the two flavors listed before it, when you eat these suckers, they basically turn to dust in the win -- without the sentimental value of the Kansas song -- and with a much, much more bitter aftertaste. Like the Whole Grain Pretzel, the bitterness will kick in and your saliva will dissipate. You get about three seconds of cheddar flavor before that happens, but even the taste of cheese isn't worth the aftermath. Like its whole grain predecessors, this flavor is still dry and unwelcomed.
The festive colors, however, will slightly distract you from how unappetizing these taste. I'm usually a big sucker for pizza-flavored snacks probably an inherent offshoot of my unbridled, borderline obsessive love for pizza, to be honest. But these pizza-flavored Goldfish -- while not bad, by any means -- totally miss the mark of what a great pizza snack should be.
They basically coated the fishies in oregano, died them a slight red, and called it a bona fide pizza-fish. This is especially glaring in the light of two other pizza flavored Goldfishies, represented further down this list. As I said before, I'm not the biggest fan of hard pretzel snacks. But if I was, I do think I'd hold these salty, smiling fish in high regard. There's a good sodium-to-cracker ratio, a solid crunch, and they give you that satisfying mushed-up-pretzel-in-the-back-of-your-throat feeling after you chew them.
It's like you took a bundle of pretzel sticks and smashed them together. That's a compliment, by the way. This flavor is slightly confusing, as most people might assume "Original" and "Classic" are one in the same. In this case, "Original" means completely flavorless. You are basically getting the Goldfish in an unadulterated state.
They are super bland… and kind of remind me of oyster crackers. But, it's refreshingly simple. I dipped a few in ranch dressing, and did not hate it. This flavor embraces its blandness. It's like the Kevin James of Goldfish crackers. To sum it up in one brief sentence, the Parmesan flavor basically comes off as a slightly sharper version of the tried-and-true Cheddar. It's a worthy entry in the Goldfish canon, but not a distinct enough experience to overshadow the incredibly similar, classic standby.
For most people, these are Goldfish. It's the Coca-Cola of fish-shaped crackers. So, it might shock you -- to the extent that people can actually be shocked by an online ranking of Goldfish -- to find the Classic Cheddar in the lower third of the ranking.
But as I went through and tried all 30 flavors, I realized innovation has made the old standby an also-ran. The next 19 flavors simply overshadow and outshine the classic. Though the old Cheddar will probably always be the Goldfish, in the hearts and minds of the snack-devouring public, we need to collectively open our said minds to the future of crackers shaped like fish. It's the least we could do. These are just Cheddar-flavored Goldfish, in kaleidoscopic colors.
I like the colors. I find them whimsical. Therefore, I like these more than the orange ones. Don't fight it. Baby Cheddar is not the newest Houston-based rapper to drop the hottest mixtape of , but is instead a scaled down, mini-version of the classic.
And surprisingly, the smaller version of the crackers were actually a little more enjoyable. This sounds a little weird, but the way they swished around in my mouth, cascading over my tongue like salmon swimming upstream, made me realize that this might be the optimal Goldfish size. It makes me wonder how they determine the de-facto size of Goldfish in the first place, and if they'll ever right this obvious wrong. I wish they made more baby flavors! Which sounds weird, taken out of context, so please don't do that!
Each flavor comes out quite strong, by design. Usually, it works. The one that works the least, however, is definitely the "Slammin' Sour Cream.
This may be their intent, but it's way too intense to fully enjoy as much as the other flavors. You might not think BBQ-flavored Goldfish would go over well. Well, you'd be wrong. Trust me: I was just as surprised as you probably are right now. In fact, I'd rank these higher, but I couldn't justify it. You don't really look to Goldfish for BBQ flavors, right?
Still, these nail the perfect symmetry of BBQ tang, with the incredibly pleasing tactile consistency of the Goldfish cracker. I dig it, and would crush these guppies up and put them on pulled pork in an instant. In fact, I might do that tonight. Like 17, this is truly an idiosyncratic surprise that smiles back. I see these little Goldfish grinning smugly at me, defying my doubt.
But I'm not pissed. These could more accurately be described as "slightly spicy cheese," but by any name, they are a semi-weird, definitely delicious standout in the Goldfish roster. Honestly, this is just a slightly stronger but preferable! They should have called it Power Parm. This is the pizza-flavored Goldfish we've been searching for.
These goldfish embrace their inner Emeril Lagasse and kick things up a notch. Here, you can actually taste some semblance of tomato and cheese -- along with a heavy dose of oregano, obviously. It's not the greatest pizza-based snack in the world, but at least it can confidently assure that Goldfish has a pizza flavor that's more dollar slice than DiGiorno. One of the problems I've always had with Goldish -- meaning, the Cheddar Goldfish -- was that the flavoring just wasn't bold enough.
Like, it approached greatness, but never fully realized it. It is, to me, the Greg Oden of crackers. The blasted variety adds at least 2x as much Cheddar as the original, and the results prove that classic Cheddar simply wasn't trying as hard as it could have. It dials up the flavor, without being too overwhelming. This should really be the standard Cheddar instead of the amped-up exception.
To quickly brief you on what these graham-fishes are, Goldfish -- while always a snack food -- was never really a dessert food. These are more cookies than crackers. And this is never more evident than the cookies and cream flavor, which contains two varieties of Goldfish-shaped graham crackers: a vanilla the cream , and what can be best described as "off-brand Oreo" to rep the cookies. As you can assert from the lesser-known category's high placement, overall, these really work. This flavor just happens to work the least but I still found myself reaching into the bag for more.
If you took the "creams" from the cookies and cream and made them a little sweeter, you'd come up with vanilla cupcake. In case you were wondering, this is a good tweak.
In case you were wondering, this is an even better tweak. I can not stress how good these are. This is the bag I kept on dipping into, almost instinctively, because I could not get enough. Not only do you have a classic graham flavor combined with what I believe is a carbon copy of the Fudge Brownie, you also have a Lucky Charms-esque marshmallow thrown in to complete the s'mores trifecta.
It's basically all cereal. The only reason it isn't topping this list, in fact, is because -- despite being Goldfish -- it doesn't really capture the essence of what Goldfish are, in general. That being said, it's the best outlier on the list and one of the best dessert snacks you can purchase, period. One of my major qualms while trying all these Goldfish is that I truly believe if I were to have an entire bag of any of these flavors, I would eventually grow tired of what they had to offer.
During this taste test, I was able to vacillate between flavors, creating a veritable buffet of fish-shaped crackers in my mouth.
