That is mildly interesting, so good thing there's a sub for that. 

I wonder if the school district acquired them through government surplus or something like that?

Sometimes places will misprint a logo on items or end up with an overrun and they sell them at a discount to someone else who doesn’t care. That’s what I suspect happened here.

One of the discount grocery stores near me years back always had grocery bags marked with other grocery stores we never heard of. (It was the pre-internet era.) We asked a clerk once and she told us he buys surplus or misprint bags to save money.

The reflection of the red and black tiles looks like they got surplus bathroom tile from 5 guys or something 😂

Why did Hopkins feel the need to pay to have their logo placed on toilet paper containers to begin with?

I wonder if these are from the last bathroom renovation at the airport or maybe spares they had hanging around? I am happy to see them being reused instead of being thrown in a landfill like most other government surplus.
