So... why did it trend up Christmas 2006, and Spike in popularity in 2007?

Did Rubiks do an ad campaign or something?

That's funny- it spikes every Christmas. Is that because people search for it it get a gift for someone, or because someone gets one as a gift and looks up a solution? Or both?

I'd guess that the movie The Pursuit of Happiness probably caused 2006->2007 and it carried over to the next year.

Woah. Philippines ranks 1st. It is, indeed, evidently true. I saw almost everyone buy the cube and here at my school, almost everyone owns one.
