It’s above freezing today in Philadelphia! The snow is finally starting to melt! We might really be on the other side of this winter! Can you tell we’re excited? Big spring folks over here at PM.
With that new season comes new life. And by “new life,” we mean a new week of promotional products to showcase and celebrate. Join us, won’t you?
1. Gritty’s Snowboard

The NHL took to Lake Tahoe for its annual outdoor games, and everyone’s favorite mascot took to the slopes with a custom snowboard. How many mascots can get air like that?
2. Baby Yoda ‘Operation’

Do we really want to dissect Baby Yoda, who we are now legally obligated to call by his given name, Grogu? I mean, not really. It wasn’t high on our list. But we have to wonder what sort of ailments can affect a force-sensitive, 50-year-old, extraterrestrial baby. At that point it’s just scientific curiosity.
3. Red Bull’s AR Game

We might not be able to skateboard as well as pros like Zion Wright, but thanks to Red Bull’s new augmented reality game built into the can labels, we can at least pretend for a few minutes.
4. Phillies ‘Clearwooder’ Shirts

Part of the charm of Philadelphia is the accent. If you know, you know. So, these shirts celebrating the team being in Clearwater, Fla., for spring training is a nice local touch.
5. ‘R.I.P.D.’ Sunglasses

Going to level with you here: We did not see “R.I.P.D.” We’re not sure anyone did, actually. But, if you did, maybe you can tell us where these sunglasses fit in with the plot of the movie. They’re dead or something? And they solve crimes in the afterlife? Someone help.
