A few weeks ago, just before the presidential election, a friend of mine reached into his pocket and pulled out what initially appeared to be an ordinary tin of peppermints. 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 breath.” This election featured a lot of great schwag, but the edible promotional items are the ones I most remember even after the final vote has been cast. Peppermints for McCain were combated by Mints for Obama (“Peppermints We Can Believe In!”). Apparently, both parties also had their campaign message distributed on jars of coffee drink mixes so supporters could start their mornings with a McCain Mocha or Obamaccino.

Promotional candy, mint and food items can help communicate the message of your brand in a fun and delicious way. Everyone appreciates a tin of gum or mints to keep on hand at all times and associating your brand with something people use daily ensures that they will never forget you!
