When I leave left overs, I leave these serving utensils too. The small spoon is for condiments and such, the knife is for burgers and such to spread the condiments, the serving trowel is for desserts and the spoon/fork thing is for the side dishes. I also had plastic tongs but they were crappy...too flimsy.
I choose the pink lettering as it was the closest to my colors and was able to see it real good on the black.
The cost on these were $.83 each with a min order of 500 pcs. _________________ Often imitated but never duplicated |

I guess it WOULD help to tell you WHERE I got them....sorry
http://lotechsales.com/
It is a min order of 100 per item with a 500 min overall order. Prices did go up from the $.83 I paid 2 years ago to $.94 now. That being said, to buy any kind of serving utensils anywhwere...even @ the dollar store (without your name on them) would be that much or more.
I also what to say....I want to keep my name SEEN as much as possible. So anywhere I can put it( in a nice way), it helps my company grow.
Things like this also makes me look more professional....IMO
If I could figure out a way to put my name on the plates....hmmmm
I COULD get handi-wipes with my name on them but once opened, the cover is tossesd....what good is that??? _________________ Often imitated but never duplicated |

I seem to recall at least one picture sometime where you were showing a little of your "plumbers crack" to the world, so I'm not sure on your boxers will do, but tattooed across the small of your back, now that would be an advertising coup!  _________________ Here's a change Robert.

That HAD to be someone else's 'plumber's crack' you were thinking of...I am SURE it was not mine...If it was, you WOULD remember it...  _________________ Often imitated but never duplicated |

If they run short on gas, there's a guy that I work with that has an unlimited supply. I'd be much more than happy to let him in on a new job opportunity.  |
