What prizes make you cringe?

The ones were one thousand plus people enter for a fish slice or a box of chocolates! and RC ones for a tiny price.

If 40 different football teams score a set of rather specific scores on Saturday and you RT this tweet, you'll win a iPad.

....No they won't and no we won't. Grrr!

Agree with all the above comments. Nibnibs gets a miss from me too. Also prizes where it is not clear what you have won. E.g. we are going to send you 'something'. I have had a message from Ted Baker to say they are sending me a Poster for my Instagram pic. Deep joy. Thought I had won a suitcase. Also when the prize is 'a bottle' of something and it turns out to be a miniature. You gotta laugh.

I agree and often wonder whether to enter to win a 'surprise' or a 'goodie bag'! I won a surprise once and it turned out the be huge umbrella with the company logo on it (there is no way I would go out with that so I donated it to charity!) I often think surprise prizes are just unwanted stock or stuff companies want rid of fast!

I have also won several movie themed goodie bags which usually consist of an XXL t-shirt (I am a tiny UK size 0!), a cap, pen, badge or mug with the movie logo on! :eek: Now I don't bother entering to win these goodie bags unless I know what the prizes are.

I won a 'mystery prize' the other week from Ideal World TV Twitter - turned out to be a NutriBullet, which I'm very happy with indeed! But some can be absolute rubbish, I imagine.

For me - muscle build-up supplements, weight loss/gym memberships and personal trainers! :eek: The thought of anyone (whether a George Clooney look-a-like or not) following me around a gym and making me exercise makes me really cringe!

some of the 'detox' packages, aka expensive fruit shakes, make me lol.

also, 'new bathroom / kitchen' comps, that DON'T include installation..


isn't that then just win some new equipment?
