"Kembrew's Soul"

Many people have metaphorically sold their soul, but I wanted to be the first to literally sell my soul by marketing and mass producing it for a low price.

This is the third material incarnation of my soul, and to date over 300 satisfied customers have purchased it. To quote from my note to distributors: "Kembrew is offering a new, improved (and as the current marketing slogan reads, ‘funky fresh’) soul for the pleasure and conspicuous consumption of the general public. Kembrew’s Soul is packaged in a 4 oz. glass jar and is filled with gimmicky contents sure to entertain even the most cynical member of the demographic group he is targeting."

This edition of my soul contains 10 screwy slogan stickers, a certificate of ownership signed by me, a note to distributors, an advertising page, and wacky plastic toys like the ones found in 25 cent machines.
