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.

McDonalds has a lot to answer forMy sisters 5th birthday years ago. My family and some of her friends all went to mcdonalds for the food, play area, meet ronald mcdonald birthday celebrations. Nice enough.
When we arrived the staff had no knowledge of our booking, and so had to improvise. The highlight of the evening was playing pass the parcel (actually made of take out bags) in which I was the winner and recieved nothing less than a complimentary sachet of tomato sauce. Simply magical.
We also still had to pay full price for the crappy event, and endure the evil eye from mcdonalds staff for making them stay after hours, which was actually a bit of a reward for us.
