What makes a goodie bag Good??


Dirt*girl™

Recommended Posts

I have been asked this question and I thought it would be a good topic for discussion following the recent complaints about the quality (or lack thereof) of the contents of the infamous goodie bags that event organisers present to their loyal supporting riders when entering a race. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Any thoughts?

Useful stuff like freebie vouchers, chocolates, socks, tshirts. NOT a million pamphlets and female pee cup things

Stuff that we can use like, toothpaste, shower gel and deodorant.

 

not those useless small packets of rubs and creams that you cant get enough to cover your finger.

 

or bicycling magazines form last year! It wasn't interesting then and surly wont be interesting now!

Cape Argus Mtb 2009 Goodie Bag - should get the Prize for WORSE Goodbag in the History of Mtb'ing Goodie bags.

1x PnP Branded 25g Packet of Cheese Puffs

1x Beacon Marshmallow easter egg - NOT A STRING OF THEM, just one SINGLE EGG!

1x Bic Pen

 

Anything else would have been better..

Definitely not the crap we receive in the bag right now.

 

The Argus bag had 3 nice/good things in:

- the pamhlet with the offer of the buy one get one free table mountain ticket ? its worth R 150

- the bar one

- the snicker

 

the rest was pretty much useless.

 

What makes it good?

The free aspen socks

 

They waste more money on the packaging than what it really means to the ave cyclist.

I like socks!! I agree with the above but not the table mtn ticket did nothing for me. Snicker was yum - pity it was not bigger!
