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.

Yay! a years supply...ah boll..When I was seven years old I entered a spot the ball competition on a multipack of 'United' (remember them) buiscuits to win a years supply of said snack.
Imagine my suprise when I found out that I'd actually won the years supply and then imagine the horror when instead of the dumper truck full of busicuits I'd been expecting, a years supply turns out to be a mixture of 365 "United', 'Club', 'Blue Riband' and 'Trio' bars!
Damn those marketing executives!
