What, You Don't Want Your Potato Wedges? I'll Take 'Em Off Your Hands

Seems like we get a lot of stories about the contest Tim Horton's holds in Canada, the Roll Up the Rim thing where you unroll the rim of your coffee cup and see if you've won a prize. The latest controversy is about one of the prizes, which winners are surprised to see: free potato wedges. This is because a) potato wedges is a weak prize, and b) patrons aren't even aware that Tim's HAS potato wedges, given that it's known for donuts and coffee. The reactions range from bafflement to downright anger, which is an interesting reaction to being given something for free. Have you ever won something disappointing? (CBC)
