Does Free Mean Free?

Does free mean free? Do we give back to those who have given a free gift? Well this is what some producers believe. When you receive a pen do you read what is on it? Majority of  the answers will probably be no. we do bot look at a pen to read what is written on it. we only use it for its sole purpose and that is to write. The times that we do see a company trying to promote something on a pen is when we are bored in a classroom or waiting room, some type of place where we have time to read whats around us. We don't look at it  as though, well Burger King put their logo on a pen, so now I have to go support them. this would be because I am using their pen. We choose to eat Burger King because we are hungry, and that what we prefer not because a pen told us to. The same type of situation goes for T-Shirts. T-Shirts are really what will catch a persons eyes. Whenever we are walking around with a free shirt we are supporting that business. For example, when Chase Bank was giving out free T-shirts I had taken one not because I was going to bank with them, I just needed a shirt to go sweat and workout in. But am I wrong for that? My answer is no they are giving away free things so why should we have to go bank with them? What companies should do then instead of feeling "robbed" is when ever somebody signs with you, like a car dealer ship, bank, phone company etc., give them a shirt so you can see that we support your company. If you are giving something away for free, expect the public to take to it as something that was givin to them because it was free. Now it is definitely obvious that nothing is free there is always a catch, whether to go to their site to watch something, and or to join their company. There is always a catch to something free.
