goldfish
i've won many goldfish over the years, but 2 in particular spring to mind.
the first one, i won at the annual cub scout summer fayre. mum said "it'll be dead by tomorrow, they always die."
it did die, but not until the day before the following yeaar's fayre. that's when i won the second fish. my sister also won a fish that day, so they both went in the same bowl. hers was a proper goldfishy colour, mine was a silvery white.
after a few days, i noticed that Jaws(my fish) was starting to get red patches. i thought he was finally changing into a proper goldfish. turns out my sister's fish was biting it and, a few days later, it died.
didn't stop me winning fish every summer fayre for about 8 years, though.
