The Bad Frog Story...
It All Started With A T-Shirt

Back in 1994, my small graphics firm (in Rose City, Michigan) was creating animal
graphics for T-Shirts that were to be sold to Department stores. The assortment of
animals were mostly ferocious animals such as a Jaguar, Bear, Tiger,etc. We also did a
FROG in the assortment.  Everybody in the office kept saying that the FROG was
"WIMPY" and shouldn't be used.  They said that the FROG did NOT belong with the other
ferocious animals.

Finally, I got sick of all the complaing about the "WIMPY FROG"... so I decided to redraw
the FROG to make him a little "TOUGHER" looking.  I drew the FROG flipping the BIRD
and then threw it on their desks!  "You want a BAD FROG huh?...... well here ya' go!!"

Soon after, we started selling fictitious BAD FROG BEER shirts...... BUT THEN...... people
started asking for the BEER!  Hell, I didn't know anything about BEER...... I'm a T-Shirt
salesman!!

Well we did learn about beer and started brewing in October 1995.  Then the whole
thing went BESERK!  We've expanded to 25 states and overseas.  We were  BANNED in 8
states. The banning of the Beer and the non-stop legal battles with each State
prevented the expansion of the Beer, but BAD FROG fans all over the world still wanted
the BAD FROG merchandise.

We've been featured on CNN, CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC. BAD FROG was even featured in
PLAYBOY Magazine TWICE (and he's not even that good looking!). We've been on
hundreds of radio stations accross the world, appeared in magazines, and been in
newspapers everywhere.  BAD FROG has had his own NASCAR, Offshore Boat, Racing
Truck, Dragsters, snowmobiles and a National Champion Hydroplane.  CRAZY, huh?...
and all because of a little Bird-Flippin FROG with an ATTITUDE problem.

BAD FROG is invloved with ALL aspects of LIFE from SPORTS to POLITICS, from MUSIC to
HISTORY.   He's a FROG on the MOVE!  He's a FROG with an interesting PAST, a hilarious
PRESENT, and an exciting FUTURE.  He's a FROG that everyone can relate with.

Many people envy BAD FROG'S attitude and the COOL way he is able to handle the
pressures of every day life.  He's a little bit of me, a little bit of you, and maybe a little of
all of us.

BAD FROG has an ability to generate FUN and EXCITEMENT wherever he goes.  He has
an amazing ability to make people SMILE!
