Another marketing strange-ity...

I once got sent a pair of wire-cutters from Intel, I also had to foot the postage bill and the petrol getting to the PO collection office!!

I had no idea it was a piece of marketing weirdness from Intel and I was expecting something else to arrive bought over Ebay.

Imagine the disapointment!

I don't even have any connection with intel other than buying a CPU from them once, I don't even think I registered the product for them to know my address!

Why a set of wire cutters you might ask? A wholely tangible way of pushing their Wireless network tech! Can't remember the marketing blurb of course but it was packaged in a box printed with some blurb.

I still have the cutters in my toolbox at home, blue rubber handled with the intel branding, they are cast iron and felt like a real set of cutters- but can't cut shit.

Perfect really, I thought these attributes were quite accurate of Intel.
