Marlboro isn't the only tobacco company giving away freebies! American Spirit is offering free cigarette butt pouches to help keep from littering the Earth with your used butts.

Annnnnnd now I'm giggling like an 8 year old.

If you're having trouble, log into American Spirits, then click the link above and click the “REQUEST BUTT POUCH” link.

Last year NASA let us shoot our names off to Mars. It was the closest I'd ever come to being an astronaut. At the very least, it was a cool way to let our future alien overlords know which ones of us appreciated space. Maybe they'll spare us.

However, with the current state of affairs in today's world, I think this new freebie seems a little more on point. To heck with Mars, let's send our name into the sun!

You have until 4/27/18 to sign up and have your name fly aboard the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft. This probe will go closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before it, as it plunge's through the Sun's atmosphere and is embraced by the warm, cleansing heat of our nearest star.

Still confused? Let this video by William Shatner answer none of your questions and leave you even more baffled.

The free fishing days for 2018 have been announced for each state. These days allow you to fish without a license, which is a thing that exists I learned the hard way. I was grateful the game warden took pity on me when he saw I not only hadn't caught a single fish, bu t was also tangled in the fishing line when he pulled up.

Saved by my own ineptitude!

One of HIF's most popular pages is our free state maps section, where I keep a running list of every free highway and road map available. Well today I added a new site to the list – free National Park maps! This site is run by a map enthusiast who also works as a park ranger. He's compiled over 1,600 high maps and I cannot confirm nor deny that I spent hours just surfing his site today.

Grizzly tobacco is giving away a free sunglasses lanyard. I didn't have an account on their site and was pleasantly surprised it didn't ask for anything beyond the usual info freebies require (name, address, and email). I wonder how they skirted federal law and didn't collect part of our social security number to verify we're adults, but I'm not their lawyer. That's their problem to figure out!

Once logged in, click Menu, then Offers, then confirm your address and you'll finally see the image above.

Now I guess this means I have to go outside sometime.

Cheerios is giving away free wildflower seeds today. It might seem a little weird for a cereal company to be giving away flower seeds, but it's a little-known fact that a pinch of pollen is part of a healthy, balanced breakfast.

I wonder if this is a marketing ploy to convince people to plant Cheerios.

I was also able to find this $1/2 General Mills Big G Cereals coupon.

The next free National Park admission weekend starts starts this Thursday, Aug 25, and runs through Sunday, August 28. It's to celebrate the National Park Service birthday and … wait a minute. Their birthday lasts for 4 days?! Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha clearly skipped lamaze class.

So get out there, breathe in some fresh air, and report back to me how relaxing and peaceful it is. Meanwhile I'll be nice and snug in my apartment.
