Ha! I worked on the first version of that! It was actually launched in 2002, not the 2007 indicated on the timeline.

To be fair, their designer gave us a flash file of what they wanted, so my part was implementing it along with their new CMS when it that launched, and writing a vanilla JS version to go alongside the flash version... but it still holds up today as the most visible of all my projects, even though the builder itself was mostly a one-day job.

Cool project, well done. Not a bad thing to be known for! I'm pretty sure I used it in Australia or Thailand as well as the US. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we briefly considered something similar for our current venture's UI - http://8-food.com/ - but have decided against it as we do too much variety to make the same approach easily viable.

I imagine it's cheaper, for one ;)
