The rep just presented a 1 hr program at the hospital; also left note pads &
drink can holders that say "Nurses are cool" with the cute little bear in sun
glasses. The note pads advertise the formula & have a picture of a blue
ribbon enscribed with "BONE-A-FIDE Results" and "calcium absorption & bone
density."  I've also seen a couple of different mugs & lots of badge holders
from both formula companies.
