Staples began selling "That was easy!" buttons, a battery-powered electronic device with no function other than to deliver the corporate slogan when the button was pressed. The reason anyone would buy a button with which to help advertise Staples® is probably related to the reason people buy sweatshirts to help advertise Nike,® Old Navy,® or the Dallas Cowboys.® The squeak, incidentally, was itself a marketing slogan — of the 1940 Presidential campaign of Wendell Wilkie. Though the squeak was a storybook failure of marketing, most Americans preferred it to Wilkie's other slogan, "One World."

However, Grandfather's generation gave us the rubber duck, equally pretty, equally useless, and incapable of using words at all but merely emitting a squeak at tub-side. The squeak, incidentally, was itself a marketing slogan — of the 1940 Presidential campaign of Wendell Wilkie. Though the squeak was a storybook failure of marketing, most Americans preferred it to Wilkie's other slogan, "One World."
