LinuxCNC-Branded USB Drives was created by andypugh
I have had occasions at events like EMF Camp and Maker Central that I have wished that I had a USB drive with LinuxCNC on it to hand out, like a sort of business-card for the project. It would lower the barrier for entry, and also serve as a reminder of the conversation when they got home.
However, I don't want to spend my own money on this. So the plan I hatched was to sell a decently-sized version of the USB key at a slight premium, each of which funds a smaller, cheaper giveaway version.
So this is what I have done. £25 gets you a 128GB LinuxCNC stick with both USB-A and USB-C plugs, and also buys an 8GB one with LinuxCNC on it, for a stranger who is not yet aware of the joys of LinuxCNC.

It might be a nice idea, but it's not really working. 
(I have sold 4 out of 25)
