The Great Mystery Atlas Book
The zoologist and writer Dr. Karl Shuker wrote "The Great Mystery Atlas: A Pictorial Guide to Mysterious Creatures and Places" with illustrations by Stephen Player.
Everything was great, but then something fell through, and it was never published.
This last summer, Dr. Shuker shared some scans from the book on his blog. Looks like it would have been fantastic.

From Multivu:
Here is the commercial:
"Wheat Thins, the snack known for its complex taste and satisfying crunch, today announced the launch of its new “Must. Have. Wheat Thins.” campaign with a new television ad debuting in the Super Bowl pre-game. The television spot, which airs between 5:30 p.m. EST and the start of the 6 p.m. broadcast on Sunday, Feb. 3, was inspired by Wheat Thins’ most passionate fans and depicts the intense relationship they have with the brand by showcasing a man so passionate about his Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins he’ll do nearly anything to protect them from even the most unexpected intruders—even a yeti!"

She Loves Me Not Yeti Friday - Mulberry Monsters
The fashion co. Mulberry decided to go with a forest fairytale theme in their catalog, and hired Tim Walker to shoot photos of ladies interacting with large yeti-like beasts in a forest (more here).
This would appear to be deserving of the "She Loves Me' label, right? But actually, the line was all about fur... ...so maybe more like NOT.
Saw originally on Superpunch
Mulberry hired illustrator Emma Houlston to design a monster for their blog along the lines of their theme.
Thanks, Savvy!

She Loves Me Not (Yeti Arcade: Tomb Raider)
Lara Croft the Tomb Raider went up against the Yeti in an action figure play set:
And there's this Tanya Croft cosplay/digital art:
But she's also encountered the Abominable Snowman in two different video games...
The latter are actually zombie yeti. They were used by Thor to guard Thor's Hammer and Midgard Serpent in Helheim. Yeti Thralls were created when a Yeti touches/falls into Etir - the glowing blue liquid that is said to be the source of all life.

Not Yeti Friday - Straw Bears
In Germany you'll see these fellows in carnival processions. They're called Strohbären, Straw Bears.
They could be derived from the wodewose or Wild Man, the hairy hominids from folklore.
