Mellow Mushroom was a non-Homestar Runner related site designed by The Brothers Chaps in 2001 for a chain of pizza restaurants headquartered in Georgia. The layout, navigation, and sound effects were all similar to those on homestarrunner.com, and the voices of the brothers and Missy Palmer were very distinctive. The site was renovated in 2007 and the old content was archived.
