Society & Culture Worst Prizes

[clivewaterhousen]

Just saw an ad for I&J fish fingers

reminded me of a competition where you could win dinner with Iron Jay

who would want that? seriously?

can anyone think of a worse prize

 

[BACCS]

Is that actually a prize? I thought it was just some marketing thing they were using for the ad.

I was listening to the radio last week trying to win tickets/showbags/ride vouchers to the Royal Melbourne Show

Called through when they said to, answered the question and thought I won

Turns out I rang for a different competition and won a Robert Plant CD

in high school my friend prank called a soccer show and told a 10 minutes story that was completely irrelevent to soccer in an old man voice.

then the guy gave him a $25 lighting international gift voucher, so he bought aq lamp and sold it on ebay for $12

These Ekon power bands SEN are handing out at the moment must be pretty crap prizes.

Unless your into breath deprivation play of course. There about the perfect size to use discretely on the train.

 

[coke_zero]

Thanks Ben.

I thought it was good too.

Apparently in the old World of Sport (the old Sunday morning footy & sport show) days they used to hand out Pelaco shirts and a big bottle of Patra orange juice. The orange juice in particular was mystifyingly crap to (I think) an American boxer. He must have thought they were taking the piss.

Anyway, my bad memory has turned it into a rubbish story. Maybe one of the posters who remembers it can clarify. Would have to be up there.

One of the jobs I worked at, the second prize for the tipping comp was two tickets to the Grand Final. First prize was an all expenses paid spa weekend.

Last round of the season two guys were neck and neck out ahead of the rest, and they were both trying to get more tips wrong than the other guy.

When I was younger I appeared on about seven episodes of the crap Channel Nine version of Now You See It.

The first episode I dominated and won the Big Board Game by a street, and was looking forward to some sort of sweet prize that I'd enjoy as a 12 year old - look over and they give me a ****ing Encyclopedia Britannica CD ROM. Look over to my brother in the audience who just laughed.

Thought "oh well just have to win the bonus round for a decent prize". Dominate it with 30 seconds to spare and eagerly await my prize.......... a high school maths CD ROM. My brother absolutely pissed himself at this stage and I could barely disguise my contempt.

For winning the indoor soccer championship we were given a navy t-shirt with a pepsi logo on it.

Not like I wanted a trophy to symbolise our team was the best or anything...

 

[Caesar]

lol was it a longsleeved one? Because you got those for free by collecting enough Pepsi Points in highschool.

 

[Selective Retention]

I've heard SEN give out underpants as a prize. More practical than a power band but shit can you imagine fronting up to reception to collect them when you could just buy them for <$5 at Kmart or wherever.

Nah short sleeved. We just came back the next season as 'Team Pepsi' and used the shirts as our uniform
