That's so as to reduce the value of the gift to nothing, so they don't
feel obligated to return something in exchange. If you can reduce the
value of a free gift to nothing, then you don't have to balance it out
by giving something back.

Another interesting experiment is stand on a street corner and try to
give money away. It's surprising how many people _won't_ take it! :-)
