Free Gift From The Aa - What Is It?!

[shivvy]

I was in recent correspondence online with the AA and part of it asked if I wanted to receive a free gift. I ticked 'yes' and forgot all about it.
It arrived today but I have no idea what it is!!
To give you an idea, it looks like a cable tie. It is bright yellow (AA colour), thin with jagged edges and it is about 1.5ft long. It has a slot at the top where the long tail can be fed through but it can also come back out again.
Never mind the AA, I'm Confused.com lol!!
Anyone got any ideas what it might be?
Thanks.

When I first saw the OP I was tempted to post,... a bottle of wine. :))

For the sink plug hole, do you mean?

Thanks for doing the detective work Bondy!
I had thought of contacting them about it but to be honest I couldn't be bothered with the 'which department do you need', 'what is it regarding', 'a free gift you say?' line of questioning!!!

Thanks, mamya.

So does the slot at the top (which perfectly fits the long tail bit) have no purpose at all?

At 0.45mins on this video a 'plastic drain snake' is mentioned and shown - who knew?!!

[Mamyalynne]

Tuvok, the AA have confirmed what it is.

[shivvy]

It is an AA "Zip-It" . . .


I wonder how many calls, emails etc the AA got asking what it was?!

A drain unblocker wouldn't be the the first thing that would spring to mind as a free gift from the AA, how odd!!!
