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.

My dad won a "Guess the weight of the cake" competitionat family friend Peter´s wedding a couple of years ago. However, the cake in question was the wedding cake, which was a big multilayered jammy icing-filled affair, and it was pretty clear that this was going to be sliced up and given to guests rather than going home with us. So what, my dad asked, was his prize going to be if not the cake?
A packet of cake mixture. We still have it.
