PANERA's Bag-uette is a $40 purse for carrying its toasted baguettes

The marketing gurus at Panera are at it again, introducing their latest product: the "BAGuette bag." This fashionable green purse is the perfect size for carrying one of Panera's new Toasted Baguette sandwiches, and it comes complete with an embossed texture, a gold "P" for Panera, and a hefty price tag of $40. And just in case you were thinking of returning it, think again because it's a "final sale" item - sorry, not sorry.

While some may find the BAGuette bag a bit, well, weird, let's not forget that Panera has a history of releasing quirky promotional products. Who could forget last summer's bread bowl-inspired pool float, which sold out faster than you can say "extra sourdough please." And even though the BAGuette bag may not be as popular, it's still a winner in the eyes of the marketing department, because hey, here we are talking about it. Who knows, maybe next year we'll see a mac and cheese-inspired onesie. We can dream, can't we?
