are promotional totes! My partner and I each got one from new employee orientation at universities we worked at and a bunch were participation gifts for students who filled out survey's for a study at one of the universities. I find that the newer promotional ones don't seem to last as long and I'm willing to pay for ones which are made from recycled material, especially recycled plastic.
