MEMO: Special Gift: Explanation
ATTN: EMPLOYEES
In the past twenty-four hours, we have received several questions from employees unclear as to the function of their Special Gift. The Can/Glove Cuzie is an insulation sleeve for canned beverages as well as a fingerless glove. The glove has been sewn to the can in order to attach the user to their drink. After consulting with the designer, we have confirmed that the glove and cuzie are meant to stay together as a single unit.

MEMO: Can/Glove Cuzie Trade
ATTN: EMPLOYEES
In light of recent concerns regarding the Can/Glove Cuzie, administration is now offering alternative gifts in the break room for any employee wishing to trade their cuzie for a more “appreciative” item. Choices include:
- A Can-a-Day Desk Calendar
- Ameri(Can) Co. Frisbee
- 6-Pack of Roller ball pens

MEMO: Can/Glove Cuzie Trade: Clarification
ATTN: EMPLOYEES
The gift offerings in the break room are meant to replace the Can/Glove Cuzie. In order to receive a calendar, or frisbee, YOU MUST FIRST TRADE IN YOUR CAN/GLOVE CUZIE. Items are limited to one per employee. Roller-ball pens are no longer an option but are available in the supply closet (one per employee).
