I was just checking through Oobgarm's sale thread and saw he has an N64 tape measure for sale. Huh? what's up with that? I'm sure it was a piece of swag from a show, but still, kinda weird.
The N64 logo has shown up other odd places, too. On a PC joystick is one I've seen a couple times that is pretty strange. And I recently found an AM/FM 'Sport Radio'.

So what's the most oddball 'what-the-hell-is-this-doing-here' gaming logo you've come across?

Was Mario ever on a suppository?

Well, not anything out of the ordinary. There's those wallets with NES controllers, wristbands with Sonic or the Triforce, etc. that you see at special interest shops at the mall. The only noteworthy thing I've seen is that Donkey Kong Country pogs game.

Not too surprising though, especially considering Nintendo started out making playing cards.

If that kind of stuff counts, I've got my own set of Nintendo Monopoly.

Hey, I have that deck! lol Its actually a great version of UNO. Same exact rules and everything but a "Power" card is added (and, as would make sense here, the Power card is the invincibility star). Thumbs up! :)

There was a ton of stuff with the N64 logo on it, I had another AM/FM radio that's different from what's pictured above but I sold it. I also saw a camera with the logo on it, but I passed on it too.
Here's a Dreamcast bicycle;

Hey I have that camera! I don't want it though, anyone interested?
I wonder why the N64 logo has popped up in such odd places?

Easily the Super Mario 64 110-film camera

I think I've seen pictures of one of those cameras before; definitely a weird one. Reminds me that somewhere around here I have a Pokemon film camera, still new in box I think.

I'm pretty sure some people have seen it, but I have a Starfox Adventures car air freshener. I thought it was kinda weird, but cool...

I'm rather fond of my Metal Gear Solid Zippo i got off of Vectorman.
And i always thought this was a bit strange... It's supposed to be the remote control for the 360, only it's not. And it's like the size of a half dollar. And it's a flashlight. I kind of want to open it to see what's powering it... Good thing i watermarked it so nobody steals the image.

Not a logo, but I've seen sonic on those toy fishing poles that kids have. It's a china made toy, but running into it in Finland is pretty weird. I'll post a pic once I can find it.

"Made in China" is a well known phrase in the United States.
I have a NASCAR car that has Zelda on it, I think there was a Yoshi one as well.

I part-timed in a local tattoo shop a few years ago. For some reason we couldn't figure out, an entire order of ink had GCN logo stickers on the underside of each bottle. We called the company, but they didn't have any idea what we were talking about.
Outside of that, at that same shop, I saw a chick who had the N64 logo as a tramp stamp and a guy who wanted the PSX logo tattooed on his joystick.

I remember seeing Pac-Man shaped ramen called Pac-Men.

I saw Pac-Man on a can of Lysol once... I wish I took a pic of it... it wasn't the cartoon version with eyes and all, it was just the familiar pieface... way down in the fine print at the bottom of the back of the can... looking like it was supposed to mean something... find Pac-Man on a Lysol can and WIN! but there was no such contest that I knew of, so I have no idea why he was there... definitely weird... and I never saw him on any other Lysol cans since

Could it be yellow with pikachu as part of one side and a diglet as the take a picture button? I had this camera as a kid, we still have it somewhere but it's broken. It would automatically put a kind of pokemon border on the pictures you took. After about 4 or 5 films though it crapped out on me. Kept it though because it looked so cool and now my little sister plays with it.

I really want that Nintendo Uno. It'd be a nice change of scenery as opposed to the usual Uno.
As for myself, I have the Zelda Board game. That's as close as I get.

One thing I remember is seeing advertisements for Mario Bros and Zelda cereal systems. They just had to fine even more ways of spreading that late 1980s Nintendo gospel.

We have a Mcdonalds near by that has the N64 logo on one of the windows. They used to have N64 games there that you could play back in the late 90's/early 00's...but they left the logo up in the window for some reason.

I seem to remember seeing a picture of a filing cabinet with the "Commodore" logo on it, not sure where though.

No, mine is different. It is blue and pretty plain (first time I've taken it out of the box!). It has a Captain Crunch logo on it, so either it was in the box or you mailed off for it.

It was an odd game, to say the least. IIRC, you had to roll the dice to attack certain monsters. You had to advance through these small islands, and whoever defeats the guy on the last island wins. Sounds vague, but I don't think I want to pull the game out right now >_>

I've got a Playstation 8oz steel flask and Playstation luggage from various e3 events.
Golf balls are one of my favourites but that's pretty common these days. I have a few exploding golf balls from Outlaw Golf too.
Vivendi did do some condoms for the LSL game a few years back and some breath mints... I thought that was a nice touch.

Not a camera, but we've got Pokemon branded batteries (picked them up at CGE 07). I'll see about getting some pictures of them up.

Somewhere in storage I have a really cheap (and small) roulette wheel. On the box it has "Nintendo" for the manufacturer.

I once saw a yellow VW Golf II or III with a Crazy Taxi logo on the side. That was really weird, I didn't have a camera on me at that moment though :/

In the Albertsons (grocery store) by my house the still have in big 3d letters Nintendo 64 on the wall. Me being a collector I asked them if they still had the games for sale. The lady looked at me like she did not know what I was talking about, so I showed her. I guess they used to rent videos and games. They still do just DVDs and current gen. stuff. I thought it was funny.
