Are you old enough to remember then gas stations gave out dishes? Or steak knives and towels came in laundry detergent?
Yes. I’m also old enough to remember ‘Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery.’

"Free" givaways, or "incentives" of any kind have always been a staple of all marketing, even today.
I think the worst today are ads from cell phone companies. "If you just to this, or that, we will discount the billion dollar cell phone that shits gold if you drag another sucker into our company." And as long as you don't read the fine print, you wont realize that you just got a barbed wire condom stuck up your ass.
