Trade Show Swag: anyone remember these?

Every engineer who went to trade shows, back in the day, has a drawer full of T-shirts with long-defunct companies and long-obsolete products. (Or they would, if they hadn’t donated them to the local thrift store long ago.) Same with reusable shopping bags and hilariously tiny USB drives.

Back in the day, Mouser Electronics used to give these backscratchers out at trade shows. Anyone else remember these?

Based on the fact that I still have mine, and use it occasionally, I have to say that this is the most useful swag I’ve ever got at a trade show.
