Worst prize you've ever received

Ok, so the competition I entered was to win one of TEN of the Fisherman's friend exclusive mixed flavour tins...…I didn't expect it to be just a flippin' tin!!! No lozenges just an empty tin. This has definitely been my worst win ever, lol
It's from this comp if you fancied winning the bit that most people throw away when they've eaten the product: https: www.instagram.com/p/CTPUlOwDgBr/
Anyone had any worse wins than this?

Thank you all who post.1 -
A Wanderlust Goodie bag many years ago. A couple of their advertising stickers and a cheap biro.

I also won a Fisherman's Friend tin and was surprised that it was empty, and it's not even big enough to use for anything else.
There were a lot of prizes though, so I suppose, it's to be expected.

My first ever win was an In The night Garden Colouring pack which I was expecting to be a pack....it was just an envelope with a colouring sheet inside. I was a little disappointed!
And although I loved winning a Custard Cream Cake Mould, I've tried a couple of times to bake a cake but it never comes out with the custard cream decoration on it. A product I'm glad that I won rather than brought!Wins in 2023 - 35

I won a horrible thin nasty red mask with Dominic Cummings photo on it, the sort made of a single layer of nasty, itchy fabric with slots cut for your ears. I've just had a fossick around and realised that I still have it.
So here it is photographed on my chopping board for you all to wince at.
If anyone can think of any constructive uses for it, don't hold back please. Just imagine an archaeologist digging this up in 2420 and what they might make of it!

A hands free mobile phone holder - it was a rubber band. Many people who won were very angry about it. I saw the funny side.10
