===Other=== Adams started '''Scott Adams Foods''', Inc. in 1999, which made the [[Dilberito]] and Protein Chef. He sold off his intellectual property in this venture when the product failed in the marketplace in 2003. He was a restaurateur starting in 1997, but exited that business.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/business/11dilbert.html |title=The Tables Turn for Dilbert's Creator |first=Brad |last=Stone |date=November 11, 2007 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |archive-date=January 16, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200116052752/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/business/11dilbert.html |url-status=live |url-access=limited |access-date=June 2, 2023 }}</ref><ref name="Hypnotized" /> Adams co-founded the service WhenHub, which has been described by Gizmodo as "similar to [[Cameo (website)|Cameo]] ... except instead of pre-recorded messages from movie stars and rappers, it offers live chats with a range of subject-matter experts".<ref>{{cite web |title=WhenHub About |url=https://www.whenhub.com/about/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161102144549/https://www.whenhub.com/about/ |archive-date=2 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=McKay |first1=Tom |title=Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Uses Gilroy Mass Shooting to Promote His App |url=https://gizmodo.com/dilbert-creator-scott-adams-uses-gilroy-mass-shooting-t-1836781947 |website=Gizmodo |language=en |date=29 July 2019}}</ref> In 2019, Adams briefly received negative media attention when during the [[Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting]] he posted a tweet suggesting that witnesses download the WhenHub app and "set your price to take calls".
