My favorite memory of RadioShack was the free flashlights. Every couple of weeks, there would be a coupon in the newspaper for a giant flashlight. They were wonderful. You could cast a beam at the top of a tree a block away. The only thing was - they took 5 or 6 D cell batteries to work, and you had to buy them.

You could call it brilliant marketing or a little douche-y. In either case, we had fun. Fond memories.
