I just got back from vacation in the sunny state of Florida. While I was there, I helped out at the Florida IFT. Essentially, it's a show for food corporations to show off their wares. Chemicals, flavorings, colors, and salts were all demonstrated.

And with shows comes Schwag. And it was a good haul! I managed to negotiate myself a Radio, a crate of Strawberries, and a 10 pound chocolate bar (which I had a hell of a time getting it in my bag).

So, my question, what's the best Schwag you have ever recieved from a show?

That's kind of where I was. I flew into orlando, drove to KSC, drove to Gainesville, and then went to the IFT a little north of tampa. Between, I was on the beach. Yeah.

Schwag? It's the free shit you can get at shows. Pens, food, T-shirts?

I was a barman in a hotel once a couple of years ago where Cadbury's had their annual convention/showcase for their company.

I came away with 3 bin bags full to the brim of all kinds of chocolate bars and various Cadbury products.

Oh sweet Jebus.... it was the greatest thing on earth....

I am going to hell for this but, in 2000 er whatever.. Bushy was in philly for his convention. I went :eek: got some cool stuff tho, like this fake news recording where they film you on a greenscreen and you turn up on CNN reporting on whats going on. They even had a mardi gras style parade without the boobies and booze, beads and mummers tho..

Time to burst into flames.
