Parade organizers buy these by the case because that is the only way they come: plastic American flags, each 4 by 6 inches on a 7.5-inch wooden stick, in quantity enough to line a parade route or cover every place setting at a big Fourth of July picnic.

Red, white, and blue on a wooden stick is the classic handout formula; people wave them, plant them in lawns, and stick them in cupcakes. Sold by the case (144 flags).
