Here's an even better idea:  give them away as free premiums if you send in 
ten oat-bran box-tops.

Did you see the New Yorker cartoon a few months back, with Father Time
(or was it the Angel of Death), equipped with hourglass and scythe, sitting
at his executive desk, and saying to his executive secretary, "I'm done
with the cold fusion file.  Bring me the file on oat bran."

(Sorry if you're into all this stuff -- I don't mean to offend.  And I 
realize this posting isn't completely appropriate for this newsgroup.
But, like the previous poster, I guess, I just couldn't resist!)
