Got a little doodad in the mail yesterday. The fine folks at Philip Morris sent me a little black carton about the size of a paperback book festooned with a few Marlboro logos.

I've received packages like this before. Usually it's a packet of coupons, but sometimes there's also a Marlboro themed object of some sort. I've received things like lighters, cigarette cases, a "personal litter device," et al.

Yesterday's item was a cube of pool cue chalk. WTF? I don't recall ever filling out some survey saying "Yes, I really like billiards and often find myself needing more blue chalk cubes."
