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.

our crap prize.One day I got home from work to find one of those "we have a package for you " cards stuffed through the door. So we trundled round to the post office to collect or package trying in vein to figure out what we had ordered.
We get there I sign for it and we step outside to open it up, inside the bubble wrap envelope s a copy of the MEN IN BLACK soundtrack - not even the bloody DVD tight gits!!! and a cover note saying simply "Congratulations, you have won a men in black CD"
We still to this day have no idea who sent it or what competition we had entered in order to win such a crap prize.
On a better note the best prize I have ever won was the swizzles matlow one they do each month in which I had to invent a new product. They sent me a suitcase load of their yummy sweets but they still haven't put my sherbet filled ice lolly into production as far as I know, shame.
