These bamboo bowls that General Mills sent me with a bunch Old El Paso products are nice. I want to keep them, but we have a lot of bowls in our kitchen. We have enough of them to fill a dishwasher and then some. We even have bowls that are shaped like fish. They aren’t big enough to eat cereal from, but they are a good size to pour salsa into, which I think is what these bamboo bowls were intended for.

Oddly, I don’t remember any of the products that came with it being salsa.

I’ve had this Ben & Jerry’s towel for almost 10 years. I don’t remember what Ben & Jerry’s ice cream it came with when the company sent it to me. It’s never been used. It’s just been sitting in my closet and probably sad about that. It’s a beach towel and it has never touched sand in its life, even though it is currently a mile and a half away from a beach.

But if you win this circle-shaped towel, I ask that you not mention how close it was to sand and surf. I don’t want to have to keep looking over my shoulder for a towel that might strangle me for revenge for not taking it to a beach. I hope the person who wins this towel will use it properly and let it experience the beach to the fullest.

I think caps and hats that have cereal logos on them should have the image of the cereal in a bowl as the lining inside the cap or hat. Take off the hat and you can see your beloved cereal. Someone take my idea and make tens of dollars with it.

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch corduroy cap above that I received from General Mills doesn’t have anything special about it other than the Cinnamon Toast Crunch logo proudly displayed on the front, it’s colored somewhat like the milk at the bottom of the bowl after eating the cereal, and it matches my khakis. It is adjustable, and the brim has been kept straight as possible. It has not been on anyone’s head and it does not smell like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

These are not Monster-branded dice that I received from the company. They are dice-shaped, but they are meant to replace ice cubes in your drink. I don’t even know what they’re called.

There’s liquid inside of them and the exterior is made out of a type of metal. Aluminum? Steel? Vibranium? I dunno. You stick them in the freezer which freezes the liquid inside and the metal, which helps keep your Monster Energy Drink or your plain old glass of water cold. Full disclosure: I used them once, did not like them, washed them, and went back to the frostworthy ice.

I think this prize that General Mills sent is going to be the most popular.

Yes, socks. Not just any pair of socks. Box Tops for Education socks! Look at that patch! It makes you want to collect a whole lot of box tops for education. Look at that fuzziness! It makes you want to stroke your face with them. Full disclosure: I did not do that, but I really wanted to.

Oh, I feel it’s important to mention that only one sock has the patch. I know. Bummer.
