Food & Drink

Howdy, partners. We're back for another week of showing you five of our favorite promotional products we saw in our travels. This week's installment even includes some on-the-ground reporting from a couple of local events, where spied some nice wooden drink tokens and an extremely sweet mug. Let's get to it!...

The world is so unabashedly strenuous at times that we all need ample sources of levity to carry us through our days. Arby’s, quite familiar with sating the public not only with its line of sandwiches but also through innovative merch concepts, has again chosen to be a harbinger of happiness through an Oktoberfest merch line that gave us a chuckle over its inclusion of “Meaterhosen"...

We have heard for centuries that all is fair in love and war, so perhaps the bigwigs at Wendy’s thought that pair needed to become a trio, with “advertising” as the addition.

Remember last year's McDelivery Day, when McDonald's went above and beyond in its quest to deliver freebies to customers? If you don't, it was a day where customers received freebies a little more special than usual Happy Meal toys when they ordered via food delivery apps. It was enough of a success that McDonald's is giving it another go tomorrow, and they're putting a fun spin on it to highlight the comfort of ordering food from home...

We know we can’t survive on chocolate alone, but that certainly hasn’t stopped us from trying—and we’re sure we’re not the only ones. Help your clients reach other cocoa fanatics with this array of promotional chocolate items. And don’t forget to order a few extra samples for yourself (and, ahem, your favorite magazine editors)...

Cheering for the favorite has its perks. After all, they usually win. But rooting for an underdog can be rewarding, too.
