Craziest sponsor you have

[Eisner664]

Hey Guys,
I was curious, I am the PR rep for my team, whats the craziest sponsor you have?

[Rohith Surampudi]

this may be a dumb question, but crazy in what context?

[Billfred]

Well, one of ours is Carolina Culinary Foods. They prepare chicken and beef and other such items for restaurants. A little odd at first glance, but all that machinery requires an engineer or two on the payroll.

(Getting a smidge crazier might require a trip to the past: Hooters donated a wings party for 10 to our auction our rookie year.)

[Eisner664]

I mean like non technological companies

[Dorienne]

Best I can think of for us is Sweetheart Cups, who gives us silverware and plates for our dinners.

I forget whether we (MOE) still have them as a sponsor this year, but for a while, we had a funeral home partially sponsoring us.

And I think that's pretty crazy.

[Hexagram]

We're going for supercrazy next year. We're gonna try and get this company "Fuchs Lubericant" To sponser us, for the sole purpose of saying Fuchs.

I don't know if they are sponsoring us this year, but last year we had a company named PHE. They are an adult toy company.

We get to combine both of these - Chipotle's and Adams-Green Funeral Home are both co-sponsors of Team 116 this year (along with NASA, SAIC, Dominos Pizza, and - gulp, I have to admit it - Dunkin' Donuts).

one of the contributers that we (103) has is a local rug store.

[Nuttyman54]

we've got a law office sponsoring us. It's not WAY out there, but it's our "crazy" sponsor

[Dermot_135]

Hmm, I have a feeling you are mispronouncing Fuchs then, Hexagram.

We have a few local doctors, dentists, and lawyers as sponsors - and yes, we have a funeral home as well . Some other notables are a local Prescription Center, Golden Guernsey Dairy, and our local resort - Olympia Resort and Conference Center.
