The Goody Bag...



Ok, so before I even collected the Goody Bag(s) I heard reports that people were disappointed in the bags this year. I have learned to temper my expectations that the Goody Bag is going to be filled with goodies, so my one requirement for the bag was that they put the mini tube of sunblock in there and there was one! Yay.

I am also not going to list everything there is in the bag but I will call some items off the top of my head; in addition to the sunblock there is a cup, bottle of Heineken beer, oat meal, mini box of cereal, trail mix, a band aid, sample gum, advil,emery boards, sample sized hair product, sponsor pouches, note pad, luggage tag, vouchers for several discounts/money off services and the guys get a cap in addition to a key chain and one condom (see the photos below for more details).

Females get orange bags, males get red bags:

Triniaries said...

I can't even deal.....picking up costumes is such a vital part of the carnival experience and unfortunately not there this year to even experience it....ENJOY for me everyone!!!!!! =(

Kris the FL surprise is in the BOX..not the goody bag. It is a nice little gift set of specially made body lotions and potions made for TRIBE.

didatrini said...

Looks pretty darn good to me. Ah mean what is dere to be disappointed about. They can only give you what their sponsors provide and it's good :)

I don't know why people make such a big deal about the goody bags...as long as it carries the essential items needed for on the road, is what is most important.

>shells< Yes There was KY In Tribe Goody Bag last Year, My Friends and I Found it to be the Most Hilarious Item to Put in a goody Bag.

Silky said...

have they had a problem with running out of goodie bags in the past?

mjsbunny said...

Not as far as I know silky!

ms. hershey said...

i don't know what people really expect to be in these goody bags. there's only so much they can actually put in them. i mean really, what more do they want? another costume in there or what? steups. at least you're guaranteed to ALWAYS get one with Tribe. that's more than I can say for a few bands...

mjsbunny said...

Thank you Ms Hershey! And from Saucy's description, I think the goody bags look pretty substantial and relevant this year. And I bloody glad there is no KY in it this year. Most useless item in a goody bag...EVER!!

Silky said...

looks good to me...I think I am even going to return the mini sunblock I bought since there is some in the bag...every dollar counts ;)

SLK said...

Trinibears - If you think KY jelly is the funniest, you obviously didn't join Yellow Devilz for jouvert last year - their 'goody' bag - jeez that stuff was just wierd!

caisoqueen said...

well if allyuh see what was in IP goody bag it seriously blows Tribe's away.

Last year my friend got an the huge Bmobile bag, an animal instinct bag, umbrella, calendar, tons of accessories, de silver cup, reallll good stuff. I will give IP dat...dey goodie bag is de bomb!

DQ said...

Yeah casioqueen. I agree with you on that one! Even the bag itself is da bomb! I was seriously jealous when my cousin pull out her goodie bag yes. My TRIBE bag looked sad next to it..lol

shells said...

Tnx Trinibears.
As far as I know TRIBE didn't have problems with running out of goddie bags...other bands though!

Anyways I doh expect much in those bags, 'cause as someone said it really depends on what d sponsors give. I just want make sure dat d mini-sunblock and d cup dere and I good.

boobs said...

yes caisoqueen you are 100% right I got fake eyelashes body jewelry all kindof stuff I was like wow ok!

Anonymous said...

Sure right.

Goodie bags are mostly for marketing, and probably costs the band little-nothing.

Mini cosmetics/pharmaceuticals are to me the only useful things.

I want my costume dammit!

Anonymous said...

At least IP have something right.. a goodie bag.. the coustume is not that great!

Unknown said...

Caisoqueen, yeah I must admit IP has a better goody bag than Tribe (the trick is actually GETTING ONE :( )

But personally, I never make a big deal about the goodie bag. Any "mas necessity" I provide myself the half the time the bag is useless. I did like the mousepad, bag and cup from Tribe...the CUP IS A MUST!! Other than its no big deal I JUST WANT MEH COSTUME!

ms. hershey said...

Caisoqueen, you're right. IP had some good bags last year... for those who were actually able to get one...

dinah said...

Whoo hoo i cant wait

terra said...
