Okay, so what's the most USELESS thing you've won?

We've had best, now what's the worst? Hehe. It could be something that you personally would never use, or something truly pointless.

Can't wait to see the replies on this one!! :rotfl:

    It was a long time ago, but it was a tin of polo mint holes! I've still got it, unopened, so the holes are still in there! :rotfl:

    A tin of chick peas _pale_ from Sainsbury's. Luckily the coupon for them scanned on the self-scan in Tesco today though so I didn't have to have the chick peas. lol

  • Polo holes are the most pointless invention ever. I wonder if they are REAL polo holes... Hmm.

    Chick peas? Hah! I vote yours worst so far.
    Which reminds me, I have a tonne of coupons. I wonder if Asda's self service checkouts are the same...

    I won a 2kg tub of Koi Carp Food...

    ...I don't have a pond, never mind any exotic fish!

    I did knowlingly enter the comp for it but only because I was incredibly bored and at a loss for something to do online (I hadn't yet found this forum!). I had to answer 60 questions on carp keeping... I was just interested to see how many I could get right with no knowledge whatsoever... I got 26 right, which apparently put me in the Top 5! Got a certificate saying what a master Koi carp keeper I was too!
    Wins for 2009: Nada, Zip, Zilch :(
  • i won a "butterkist" mouse mat! ... whoooooo :rolleyes:

    I was going to nominate my sachet of waterproofing fluid, but this is genius. The fact that you were prepared to answer 60 questions to win something you didn't want. That's dedication...
