Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

When I was 9ishI won a box of chocolates in the school fete's tombola. They were over 5 years out of date. They were supposed to have liqueur centres but they'd dried out and collapsed into little heaps.
I ate them all anyway with no ill-effects. Mmm, (dessicated) chocolate...
