When he offered me one, I quickly realized that these were no ordinary mints. These were Peppermints for McCain which would give me “proven fresh [...]

(Via: Worldwide Fred) I like this baking item because it directly relates to both cake and promoting world peace. I can see this as an awesome promotional item for the UN or a human rights organization, as a charity giveaway or gift-with-donation item.

You’re not a REAL politician until you have at least 150 different schwag items plastered with your name and the year of your candidacy on them. Check out these promotional noisemakers from Mitt Romney’s failed campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. I think I spot an imprinted frisbee too! Better luck in 4 years [...]

If you ever attended the Fancy Food Shows you know that there is a load of super interesting food exhibitions. I especially like these political hot sauces because I pretty much add hot sauce to everything especially to chicken and eggs. What can I say, I LOVE spicy food!

I know the election is over, but I can’t help thinking I missed something. Oh, that’s right, I forgot about third party candidate schwag. I just found this Ralph Nader promotional bumper sticker.

(Via: Joe Heller) This election has seen a hullabaloo of catchphrases—the infamous mentioning of mavericks, yes we can’s, and you betcha’s. So what do we do now that the election is over??!
