Thanks paul !

So, it's a long time story guys...

In first, I've organized a festival in my area with some friends during summer 2000.
And the first day, the sound engineer of the first band possessed a YIELD bag that i've never seen before.
After a long discussion I've tried to deal the bag but the guy didn't want to sold it to me.
He explained me that he received this PROMO YIELD BAG by Epic FRANCE as a gift and only few of them were produced... (oh my god !!! ).

During all these years I had forgotten this Yield bag.
And 15 days ago, I found it through Ebay !!!
Like nobody in the collector community really knows it (it's a french promo PJ item) I won this bag for about 20$ only. (photo coming soon).

When I've received the bag at home, I got in touch the seller and asked him if he owned other PJ promo items (the seller works in a music store).
And YES: this promo vodka for the Vitalogy first days release.

I known it because one of my friend (from the french forum) knew his existance.
About 6 or 7 years ago he shown me a picture of this vodka promo (found on ebay I suppose).
I have never seen it a second time.

It's like the No Code calculator, an old french promo item.

Sweet dude, just goes to show there is stuff out there we don't know about yet...

I have the vitalogy vodka bottle.
The contents have completely evaporated over the years. Makes me wonder what was in it.

I think they were produced by "Absolut Vodka" 'cause they have same 50ml bottle:

So here is the promo YIELD bag from Epic.

Nice to see the pretty rare Jeremy promo on the left. One of my most wanted item.

It seems strange though that "pearl jam" is written "even flow style" and not with the Vitalogy lettering. Were there any other promos from the same period with similar lettering?

The Vitalogy promo jar from France is also written with the font used for Even Flow.

Thanks for the info Fabien
Both the promo jar and the vodka bottle are great items!
You lucky French people!!!

Thanks.
I have to receive an other mini Vitalogy vodka from the same guy (his last bottle). But this one is not mint (few scratched on the lid and some letters little erased).
Photos coming soon.
I could trade this one with someone here.
So I'm searching old picks not in my collection yet (like "Sound Rat" logo or "Sex Executioner").
