Kind of like those commercials over here where people subit ideas, somebody wins, and they get money to produce it. I just can't remember what products have done it! Coke, I think. I'm not sure. But, in this case you submit what you want Super-Olli to help you with, and if you're chosen they'll film a commercial from it. Those four years of high school German do come in handy!

You can nominate your friend to have Super-Olli come do tasks for you. I keep saying "Those Crazy Germans!" And yes, I am one, so I can say this! You are correct.
