Peel N' Lick
Apparently Welch's hit it big with their peel and lick campaign, as reported by Ad Age. According to their numbers, 59% of people who chose to rip the grape juice flavored taste strip from the People Magazine advert and actually lick it are more likely to purchase.

Of course, this was just a partial list. I'm generally busy doing important things and/or stuff and rarely finish what I start. That includes report reading. Anyone who gets a chance to peruse the whole thing, feel free to post your findings in the comments section. It's 100% more likely you can come up with something better than I can.
