1 - Can't fool me, man... it's one of those weird busted-pretzel box-lunch cookies after being held under a fluorescent light for 15 seconds.

5 - Having never been at LS i couldn't say for definite but they do bear a passing resemblence to "Bucky balls" (The BuckmeisterFullerine structure of Crystalline Carbon)... OR... did LS swag ever include a Kaleidescope?

6 - @Steve... Bucky balls were never handed out at Lotusphere. As for your second guess, the judges needed more information than that, as in "details". :)

7 - Actually, you'd never know if buckyballs were being handed out, since they're about a nanometer across. We could have dozens of them from Lotusphere '97 and not know it!

9 - I think I still have some stuff from Lotusphere '97 - will check for buckyballs immediately. Unfortunately, my eyesight has deteriorated since then.

10 - I know it is a Kaleidoscope from 2007. In a flat box, actually part of the box as in embedded in the box. Definitely a Lotus Yellow colored box. Can't remember any more details. I'll have to see if i can find it anywhere...

11 - You're close, Dec... It *is* a Kaleidoscope, and it *is* Lotus, but not from 2007. Now y'all have to figure out what product it was pushing... :)

12 - Casting my brain the size of a planet.. (and yes i have a pain in diodes down my right side) given the fact that I wasn't there and all and this is just a pure guess ... was it Kaleidoscope themethingie for the Ahpule?
