OvalStickers.net Review

Winston-Salem, NC – My shoulder was killing me last night after firing a couple dozen rockets at our weekly dodgeball game. As a result, I couldn’t make it online last night to churn out a blog.

Onward with today’s topic… If you’ve been in a car at all this decade, I’m sure you’ve seen the white oval stickers with black writing on somebody’s rear bumper. Inside the oval is usually an abbreviation of a cool place, then in tiny letters below it is the actual place's name. The most famous of them all is probably “OBX,” for the Outer Banks, NC. During my one trip to the “OBX” in 2001, I thought the city itself created those stickers because everyone had one on their rear bumper. Since around that time, the oval stickers began to expand to other places, most notably beaches.

• BB = Bethany Beach, DE
• FI = Fenwick Island, DE
• OC = Ocean City, MD
• DCL = Deep Creek Lake, MD

As their popularity rose, so did their inventory of city names. If you go to OvalStickers.net’s official website, you can find just about any sticker that you want. The inventory doesn’t include just city names, but also catchphrases, political candidates, animals, professions, airport codes, etc. As a former Maryland resident, I especially enjoy the “I Hate 495” interstate sticker. But the best part of all is that if you cannot find the sticker that you’re looking for, OvalStickers.net will gladly take your request (within copyright restrictions). Mark Wilson, the editor at OvalStickers.net, was able to help the Bistro out with a sticker of their own. Upon placing my request, Mark was able to turn around the design within minutes! Usually, when you’re working on creating or designing a personal item, you would expect it to take a few weeks (as I was expecting). Maybe I’m not caught up on the latest technology, but I was definitely surprised by the quick turnaround. I think, with the rising popularity of OvalStickers.net, that more people will come up with their own ideas, whether it be business names (restaurants especially), small town names, cars, or hobbies.

By request, you can obtain the following sticker from me:
