Remember those CD single/ringtone hybrids that were saddled with the awful name “ringles”? A
post on Coolfer just reminded me that the initial announcement of the format came
almost a year ago, but ringle nation doesn’t seem to have really taken off: Amazon has
118 results for the search term “ringle,” but some of them are just for artists with that name, and many of the listings for the actual ringles themselves
only have secondary-market copies available. Not that I’d be surprised that something so ill-advised would die on the vine, but man, that was even quick for the Internet age.
