whats the worst / useless freebie you have received

Horace

I think the worst one that I had was the So Good longlife bag - it was bad because I had to pay the ruddy postage on it after they forgot to put stamps on:mad:

I have other useless things - free scoops for washing powder which are way too big because I use a small scoop that I got from my old job, out of a tub of dishwasher powder.:rolleyes: Maybe I will find a use for them or perhaps I could sell them on ebay?:rotfl:

The free Coors at Bargain Booze. Which would be great if half of the outlets actually stocked it and the other half accepted the vouchers. As for the product itself, even the slugs didn't go for it.

The aftershave cards are pretty pointless - they never smell of anything by the time I get them, so I suspect postie's sack is a little whiffy by now.

I'd agree with that, I got given a £10 voucher from BB head office because nobody would accept my free Coors one, and guess what? None of them would take the £10 voucher :mad:

Paint samples from crown, just painted bits of card. It was at this point i became choosey about what i sent for.

Mine needed to see and retain the cover letter as there were forged vouchers going around.

Lol- reading some of your posts is excellent! made my day-

worst freebie? do I really have to pick one?

theres the shampoo and conditioner I was sent as a human tester, I was instructed to use the stuff as normal for 4 weeks. My hair became dry, the roots greasy, it was no longer soft- dispite my additction to hair serum, and the colour faded. I reported back that it was the worst thing I had ever used. I was not asked to do another survey for them after that. The bottles looked identical in shape to the brand 'sunsilk' but were just plain in colour and no words on. I will now never ever use sunsilk hair care!

Another would have been anything readers digest send at me, books on flooding in countries and how "amazing" it looks- yeah right, I am sure the people who lost thier homes think this also. Or the mobile phone holder which is too small for my phone, looks cheap and ugly and doenst really serve any purpose anyway.

Then theres the free salmon samples at the waitrose salad bar. I later was confined to bed with what was described to me by a doctor as food poisining. Hmmmmm.

I could go on??

I have had some good ones, earlier I printed a voucher for free diorshadow mascara, was asked by Loreal to test the new GNH shampoo and have my hair done free at the Loreal building in hammersmith, oftern I will also walk away with a free normal sized shampoo conditioner and serum.etc, all for having LOUD hair!
