Amias Heartshaped Thing

Having spent a day at a study day that had any number of drug reps promoting their product this was the best "odd thing" I could come up with. It is a heart shaped memory stick.

This a favourite branding item amongst drug companies because they are sort of cute, ah see the little rubber ducky. The problem is that they float upside down. That will be a dead rubber duck then.
