Students snap up 12,000 promotional packs

Students love free stuff, and they certainly would have appreciated the contents of free goody bags distributed by the Otago University Students' Association yesterday.

The 12,000 bags took 20 people three eight-hour days to fill, and they were distributed to eager hands by a team of volunteers, events co-ordinator Dan Hendra said.

Aside from 16 advertising leaflets, the packs contained a packet of instant noodles, a calendar, a can of energy drink, a razor and a bottle of fake tanning lotion.
