Free Gift From The Aa - What Is It?!

[shivvy]

I was in recent correspondence online with the AA and part of it asked if I wanted to receive a free gift. I ticked 'yes' and forgot all about it.
It arrived today but I have no idea what it is!!
To give you an idea, it looks like a cable tie. It is bright yellow (AA colour), thin with jagged edges and it is about 1.5ft long. It has a slot at the top where the long tail can be fed through but it can also come back out again.
Never mind the AA, I'm Confused.com lol!!
Anyone got any ideas what it might be?
Thanks.

I'm not sure how much use one would be, but maybe its a tyre grip? If you had several, you might thread them through your hub cap and around the tyre to give you extra traction in the snow?

If you hadnt caught frost bite in the process!

[shivvy]

Ah, good guess Maydup! But unfortunately I don't think that is what it is. The jaggedy bits are on either side of the flat long bit rather than being on the flat part itself.
It's hard to explain so I'm sure that is impossible to imagine.
I would add a picture but I can't remember how to do it on here?

upload it to somewhere like tinypic.com then cut and paste the URL they give you

Jno - I have opened tinypic.com but it says that it isn't secure?

Thanks mamyalynne - I'm useless at this kind of thing. I tried adding a second pic too but it doesn't seem to have worked either!

hmmm... maybe an obscure Bulgarian sex toy ... perhaps just something to bundle things together, but I don't recognise it at all.

It reminds me of the things people used to hang from the back of the cars to combat car sickness

I am sure it's something that everybody needs, but they don't know they need it!!

The AA haven't broken the bank with that gift, have they.

Looks like a simple yet large ratchet tie to me.

[shivvy]

You are right melv, no expense spared - but I'd still love to know what it is lol!

[Bondy50]

It's a drain unblocker. I had to email them and ask what it was for too!

[Old_Geezer]

!

Well I can see that it could do the job. Who'd have thought ?

[Mamyalynne]

Well done Bondy - mystery solved.
