Competitions you don't see any more (Nostalgia)

andrew71

I came to realise the other day that I must of been doing competitions for about ten years and so it got me thinking (a bit of nostalgia creeping in) about those competitions no longer around. Be it due to the host website just stopping doing competitions or them going bust.

Wonga on Twitter - £50 - The only time we'd ever want them to have access to our bank account was if we ever won £50 off them. Happily they've now gone :T

Giraffe & Ed's Diner again on Twitter - win a meal for two on a Friday (two separate competitions). They are still around but they've stopped doing competitions.

Daily Star/Express/OK Magazine - All run by the same company. Daily entries. We're they taken over or just decide to stop doing competitions?

Channel 4 - In the days when Deal or no Deal was at it's peak every day there was a chance to win 10's of thousands of pounds. Free entry up to 30 times a day. This was probably the time many of us learnt to use form filling software and how the browser back button and refresh browser worked.

Fish slice/spatula - personally I didn't enter this so no idea what it was but they did start to get a bit of a cult following on here.

Any more?

There's an advent that everyone always goes on about, Hunt the Haggis or something?

I don't think I've ever seen it so never knew what people were talking about.

With the Express / OK / Star, didn't Hello! do the same comps too? ... I do miss those ones, they always had good prizes (although I never managed to win one).

ITV competitions that were FREE to enter.

There was a Philidelphia one that you had to fill the fridge, and also a bacon company that we probably all had magnets for at one point that you used to have to search around for frying pans or something?

The Goodreads ones, I use to win regularly on those, then they changed it to US entries only.

The Times hourly competitions. I won a year's visits to National Heritage houses and grounds.

They had some amazing prizes.
