Anyone remember when Adidas Predators came out, Snickers did a promo where you could win 1 of a thousand pairs? Basically you had to collect wrappers with 4 different players pictured inside and then one with a pic of the boot.

I got the boot pic and had all the players, was all set to claim my pair then found that when I went to get the wrappers my mum had binned them thinking they were rubbish

Never did get her to cough up for a pair to compensate me

A lad who I know, lives in the same town as me, won the "Redline Magazine" Renault 5 GTT at the Doncaster Max Power show or whatever it was! To win it all you had to do I think was txt in the answer to the question "What size engine does a standard 5 Turbo have?" so he basically won it for 25p I think it was! - Shame he hadn't pased his driving test and had to get his brother to drive it home for him!!
