....Who made the 1st button? ...
I'm not sure the first give-away was a button. There were some very creative items shared in the 2000 to 2002 period. (Didn't the X-Cats give away "Swedish Fish" candy in bags labelled as Cat Food in 2001?)

I was just digging through the box of FIRST tchotchkes the other day looking to see if I had another of the Ford shoulder straps to carry water bottles. (I didn't.) I couldn't help but notice the diversity of items that were given out in past years. Now it seems that 95+% of the handouts at competitions are buttons. I don't know if that is because FIRST has banned some of the items (food in particular), or if buttons are so much easier/quicker than doing something more unique.
