Embarrassing Prizes???

Options
Has anyone ever received a prize that left them absolutely mortified?

I once won a very nice blue glass vase which arrived in a box with the words 'Nordic Bliss' emblazoned upon it and nothing else to qualify what it contained.

I don't think I have ever forgotten that postman's face as he handed it over.

I said nothing, blurting out 'It's a vase!' probably wouldn't have helped...

    I received an embarrassing prize about 3 or so years ago, but struggled to remember what it was, it was that good lol!

    It was a w**k sock - can't remember where from though!

    I once won a pair of knickers with a cartoon piranah fish on the crotch area - it had lots of spiky teeth and a large grin! I donated them to a local charity shop and wished I had stayed to see the look on the old lady's face when she saw them! :D

    I also won a Rampant Rabbit which my daughter found - I told her it was for frothing up the milk in my lattes!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    A few years ago several of us won "Runner up" prizes of some pile cream!

    I entered a competition to win tenna lady pants for an elderly neighbour, I almost didn't thinking it would be embarrassing. I won and she was over the moon, there were even money off vouchers :)

    I've since received samples through the post which the same lady was greatful for, no embarrassment at all just nice to see her smile as they're very expensive :)

    I won a sperm check kit which supposedly indicates normal or low sperm count. No idea where I could have won that from. :o
