The Biden campaign started selling fly swatters right after the debate. They’ve already sold out https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/business/biden-campaign-fly-swatter-trnd/index.html
In case you missed it: A fly very noticeably landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s stiffly coiffed head as he debated Sen. Kamala Harris. The fly lingered [for nearly two minutes], and the internet couldn’t stop talking about it.
Two hours later, the Biden campaign website was peddling $10 “Truth Over Flies” swatters.
And within a few hours more, a campaign spokesperson said, the nearly 35,000 swatters had sold out.
“We saw the internet and our supporters sharing a viral moment online, so our digital team came together on the fly,” Zach McNamara, the merchandise director for the Biden campaign, said. The goal was to show that “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will always choose truth over lies, science over fiction, and unity over division,” he added.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a new bobblehead on Thursday commemorating the moment during the 2020 vice presidential debate where a fly appeared on Vice President Pence’s head.
The bobblehead features Pence in his debate-night suit with the now-famous fly on his head. It also incorporates a plexiglass-like barrier and includes a removable mini fly swatter. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1423/4758/products/MikePenceFlyBobblehead_10_1024x1024.jpg?v=1602184942
