Angry Birds has movie aspirations

Rovio clearly has aspirations to be in the movie business, as evidenced by this movie poster promoting its Star Wars-Angry Birds mashup game. Of course, an actual Angry Birds movie is due to hit theaters in 2016.

Angry Birds soda!

Because who doesn't want to drink bird-flavored drinks? The drinks, which are actually OK, come in several different flavors, based on the type of bird, and one bad piggy. It's already outsold Coke and Pepsi in Finland.

Angry Birds at the airport

There's not one, but at least two dedicated Angry Birds stores at the Helsinki Airport (which isn't that big). This one shares an open retail space alongside Samsung Electronics.
