Zizzle

Zizzle is a company based in Bannockburn, Illinois, United States that makes many types of electronics and toys based on original concepts as well as movie licenses.[1] They are best known for a toy called "iZ".

History

The Zizzle company was founded in 2005 by Roger Shiffman, co-founder of Tiger Electronics, along with the marketing guru behind Furby, Marc Rosenberg.[2] Shiffman credits his wife for the name of the company.[1]

The first toy released by the company was called "iZ", and received comparisons to the Furby.[3]

The company received licenses to produce toys for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and also Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer cartoons.[4]

Toys and licences
gollark: I wish to use Mathematica in my code. Please install it. DO NOT READ, ubq.
gollark: I have a "great" way to do this which I think takes O(n²) space-time-beeite.
gollark: Perhaps it is also possible to construct some sort of regex/deterministic finite automaton to match things matching anagramatically.
gollark: Bogothings run in O(n!) time mostly. So just make `giveup`'s maximum be `math.factorial(len(remove_whitespace(s)))`.
gollark: Hmm, your pseudocode is almost valid python.
