My memory is quite vague about it but I think they used to throw in a set of free ginsu knives (think sushi) for people who would buy some crap on the TV shopping program. The general idea of ginsu knives is to entice prospects (mason users) to adopt a product (Mason 1.15) more readily by adding to the package an unrelated free bonus (Dave's joke about ginsu knives ;-).

We have this kind of TV ads on German TV now, too. Badly dubbed. So badly it's getting worth watching if you have a cheap sense of humor ... I sometimes make a mistake channel hopping and land on such a channel. Immediate cringes and the inability to use the remote control are the consequence. So I have to watch the stuff until I'm recovered. No free knives as far as I can tell, though. They could try it, Sushi is very much En Vogue here.
