While we are on the topic of strange promotions, can anyone think of other examples? Aside from computer games. (Some of the stuff in the boxed games I have is just plain weird, like the cardboard pig snout with Space Quest III.)
HItchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. They included a pair of cardboard Sensoperil (or something to that effect) glasses--totally black. In the original story when you wore these and they turned opaque, you were in peril but since you then couldn't see the danger you could relax. :)
