What Are Your TOP 10 Most 'Out-of-the-Box' Companies?

I mean especially companies that are marketing to consumers.
What are, in your opinion, the top 10 companies (either in your country or in the world)
that are in some way "out of the box"?

They may be "out of the box" because there is something unusual about their product or service.
They may be "out of the box" because they have an usual target audience.
They may be "out of the box" because they market their product/service in unusual ways.
Just companies that are in some way "out of the box".

What are your personal favorites in this "category"?
What are your personal TOP 10 most "out of the box" companies?

I'd love to hear not just about HUGE corporations that are omnipresent,
but also about some lesser known (or lesser visible) ones.
Maybe even something that you've recently discovered in a supermarket etc.
Any ideas?

    Shoes, Clothing | Zappos.com Free Shipping has very good reputation. I think it fits your idea of an out of the bok company.

      I seriously just made a post about this two seconds ago! If you want to know about outrageous marketing, read and learn everything you can about PT Barnum! Tons of books about him on amazon but you can also find them at your local library too.

    Paul, I don't want to "know about outrageous marketing". I already know a lot about that.
    I rather want to brainstorm about companies that are doing "out of the box" stuff.
    I bet there are companies (that fall into this category) that I either don't know or haven't thought of.
    And besides I think it would be interesting for everyone to have such a list.

    So far we only have Zappos on the list. (and I think it's a great example)

    Any other suggestions anyone?
