Lessons learned from bringing promotional sweets to a conference

The trap with shirts is that girls LOVE oversized, soft t-shirts as nightshirts. And since "unisex" shirts are often actually just men's-fit shirts, you have the double-whammy of a) give it to a guy, decent odds his partner steals it, and b) give it to a woman, good odds she doesn't want to wear it as a normal shirt (because "unisex"=men's) but it's a great night-shirt.

I got a Datadog t-shirt in 2016. Amazing quality. I have never worn it; it is my wife's favorite pajama shirt. She says the dog is cute.

...Dang maybe this is actually the master plan, though. I've seen datadog's logo like 50% of nights for the last 8 years.

I had too many shirts, so I eventually collected T-shirts for the wife.

I did get some funny looks asking for a (women's) small instead of large, but gotta bring home the goods.
