Well, a lot of people put Apple's logo on their products ... many of them
are not licensed/authorized to do so. ;)

I suppose the weirdest things I've seen are (licensed) Apple bolo tie and
belt buckle combo (yeah, it was the 70's) and in Hong Kong, I saw a condom
vending machine that dispensed Apple-logo condoms. I wanted to buy some for
laughs but the machine was out, and I never found another machine like it
before flying out to NanChang.


I remember seeing Apple earrings, stud mounted earrings in the shape of the logo of the Apple with the bite out of it, with a rainbow through it.

It was at a store that sold Apple II's, it must have been about 1984. I assumed they came from Apple, but in retrospect have no memory of anything
to suggest that.

It was a pretty low-key thing. Taking a look at the Apple Store that opened up here a few months ago, it seems like Apple has really become
fashion rather than substance.

Anyone who has looked at the eBay Vintage Apple Computer listings has
to notice that Apple will put their name on almost anything. I really
got a kick from the Apple Squeeze ball,
