I don't know about Select & Save specifically, but i've gotten two boxes. Just samples of things their clients probably give them as part of the fee for doing the research. Haven't noticed any adverse effects. I used to work for a market research company while in high school (ARB) and we sent people fifty cents in the form of two quarters for filling out the surveys. Some people actually mailed us back the quarters. I worked in the second edit area (where we marked up the forms so the data entry operators wouldn't have to think, just type), and the quarters got pulled out before I ever saw them. -Ron
