Tv/ product competitions

happypants

Just watching a tv ad there for Lyons tea competition, they're giving winners flights from abroad home. So I checked the website to see if they publish winners, which they do. Genuine or not who knows.

Got me thinking has anyone ever won anything from tv competitions or products like chocolate bars, ya know the types 'win a gold bar inside this kit Kat malarkey' Or the late late/ expose comps that cost €6+ in premium texts ?

Years ago my sister found a white rolo in a normal pack, I think the prize was a cruise or something. Herself and her friend shared it because they were curious to taste it.

I am absolutely convinced at this stage that RTE are only producing new programmes for the sole purpose of ramming as many competitions into them as they can.

Not from any of the premium call number things but won a few pound and multiple bags of Perri Cheese and Onion crisps a number of years back (prize included in bag).

My brother Charlie found a golden ticket in a bar of chocolate once.

My aunt won a holiday & cash on the Late Late Show a few years back.

Not dissimilar to their radio shows then.The competitions are only interrupted by the occasional piece of music and endless inane "banter"

Were you that guy talking about all of his grandparents sharing a bed before?

I once won a noddy balloon in a colouring contest. And it was a great timing, because I was having a really bad day til I found out.
