I don't see why you are being so snide, they do give them out on request. Not sure if that is still the case though

They came around with them on a flight i had last year. I didn't take one, so not sure if it was more a stock clearing exercise LOL

Yes seriously, really! The SQ themed playcards were given out by the IFS occasionally. There are ones with A330, A380, not sure if there they produced a new edition when the A350 came into the fleet. Playcards were (are?) a quite popular small gift in SIN which you would distribute to relatives/friends after returning from vacation.

Will request for one on my SQ flight in May. FYI, CX and KA still have playing cards while JL no longer have them.

SQ also used to have little portable board games, like those 4 in 1 kits. Predates IFE systems of course. heh.

On a Jan-2017 SIN-ZRH flight, I noticed a couple of the little teddy bears placed next to the overnight snacks in the business class galley.

Don't know if that meant "help yourself", and I didn't see them being offered around, but they were there on display.

Maybe something else to look out for if you want a souvenir.

I remember a time when they would give out miniature plastic models of the plane to kids, that was pretty great

I think it's only a matter of time they make you buy them from the duty free cart...
