What a shame. I wonder how much money this is saving the company.

I don’t know how many stickers I have that I never used. If one wants any, they should (and apparently can) ask for them. But this was completely wasteful.

I’m sure the initial intent of the stickers were for marketing / advertising purposes. I’ve had one on the back window (driver’s side) of my previously owned cars and I have one on my current car.

I’ve seen the  stickers on backpacks, ball caps, school products, etcetera so I wouldn’t necessarily label them as wasteful, but I’m sure there are a good amount of people who don’t make use of them just like there’s a good amount who do.

End of an era.

That was the original goal indeed. Almost free marketing.

The only places I have seen them are:
1. Cars
2. Apple laptops

And the cars outweighed laptops 10:1 easily.

I don’t remember seeing any in the past 3 years. So

Give it a couple of years then use them, it might become fashionable again, if you care.
I don't advertise my possessions for obvious reasons.
