nobody cared deliberates objects that were expressly made as short-term memory prompts, proofs of admission, product come-ons, confidence builders, temporary reminders or for comfort in a momentary exigent circumstance. Most people consider these throwaways; none were meant to endure (ex: shopping lists, instant winner or not offers, do not disturb signs, under penalty of law do not remove tags, keep this coupon, inspected by number tags, sanitized for your protection bands, air sickness bags).
