freebie n : something that is free (usually provided as part of a promotional scheme); "the road map was a freebie" [syn: freebee]

English

Noun

1. something which is free; a giveaway or handout

   I didn't buy a thing, but they were handing out some neat freebies and samples.

Translations

A free sample or freebie is a portion of food or other product which is given out in shopping malls, grocery stores, and other venues. Sometimes samples of non-perishable items are included in direct marketing mailings. The purpose of a free sample is to acquaint the consumer with a new product.

The concept of a free sample is not unlike that of a test drive, in that a customer is able to try out a product before purchasing it.
