I have a lot of recycling to do


This is the list of stuff that was in the bag handed to us at registration. I feel like I'm doing a case study on women's marketing.

  1. A tin of John West Tuna
  2. Flora Actimel
  3. Velvet Crunch - only 83 calories - crisps. Can they really be defined as crisps if they only stack up 83 calories in a packet? Hardly...
  4. Granola bars
  5. Colgate Enamel protect toothpaste
  6. Nestle Raisin oats & more cereal - hello, I'll be eating you for breakfast
  7. A red lollypop - without a single bit of marketing on it. Excellent!
  8. John West 60c off voucher
  9. Party Feet blister plaster
  10. Scholl heal repair cream
  11. Johnson's 24 hour moisture extra-rich bodywash
  12. Cif rejuvenation - this product basically cleans anything from chairs to shoes - as demonstrated with a fake sparkle on the cover.
  13. Vaseline aloe fresh hydrating body lotion with aloe & cucumber - a full bottle and not poxy sample size - noice one!
  14. Nivea double effect deodorant - this is basically claiming that it slows underarm hair regrowth as well as that new Dove deodorant. Lies. It's all lies.
  15. Two carefree pantyliners
  16. Raisins and cranberries - yum
  17. A vodafone bag telling me to recycle my old phone so I can help the Irish Heart Foundation. I'm going to use this.
  18. Jackie Skelly 'FREE Guest pass for 2 worth 50 Euro' apparantly. Hidious marketing picture on the flyer. I'll post it up later.
  19. A chance to win a trip to the New York Marathon - If I won it'd keep me training at least.
  20. A flyer telling me to run 10km at 10,000ft in Ethiopia...
  21. Hybernian AVIVA Healthcare flyer
  22. A booklet of vouchers including -

  27. Nicely designed 'Drink Aware' alcohol and sport info booklet
  28. Discover Ireland 09 magazine
