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.

Airplane quizWag's post reminded me of an airplane quiz I won as a real little kid. The question was to name all 7 dwarves ("Happydopeydocsneezysleepygrumpybashful!") and the "prize" was a little mini-fridge sized bottle of alcohol. I thought it was cool (it was a cute bottle) but then my dad took it!
