Flexon...Sort of...

So, I have a pair of wonderful glasses by Flexon, made of that stuff that will bend and twist but not break. So I wanted to send them a query. It would be cool to have a keychain made of that material. Apparently a company called Marchon makes Flexon. They contacted me and said they were sending me a Calvin Klein keychain. Interesting.

Flexon/Marchon/Calvin Klein:

Thanks Flexon/Marchon/Calvin Klein!

A Two Fer

I got a couple of nice packages today, each with a couple of items.

DC101:
DC101 sent me a can holder thingy and an appropriate bottle opener keychain. Thanks DC101!

Fandango:

Fandango sent me a pair of keychains which made it convenient to show the front and back of them. Thanks Fandango!

Pretty Sure I Told Them That Already...

...but oh well,

Flexon:

"Thank you for your inquiry. Please send an email with your full name anddaytime address so that we can send you a Calvin Klein Keychain. We do nothave any Flexon Keychains. Thank you for choosing Marchon."

Not sure why they have Calvin Klein keychains, perhaps they manufacture Calvin Klein glasses.

It Must Be Karma

After a terribly long haitus inspired by a new job, I've finally begun the task of giving this experiment a conclusion as my large crowd of readers no doubt has noticed. It must have started up some good karma, though, as I wrote to Snapple in early November and just now got a lovely keychain from them. I guess I can't quite write off all of the no-goes quite yet.

Snapple:

Thanks Snapple!
