The Canada farmer one was amazing. Really cool to see that farmer give new farming families the seeds for their farms. And the hot dog one was the funniest lmaoo didnt expect that
I hate the Canada farmer one. If I had all that seed I would sell it to the new comers for 10× it's worth and become a seed monopoly and become filthy rich and buy other things and control all of Canada and if they won't buy it I'll burn it to ashes and restore balance as all things should be and start my own garden with the snap of my fingers and look upon a grateful earth. :]
@719Gas from THEslumZ Ill take your word for it. They are shaped like small rectangles with either concave or convex long sides hence the name Shapes. Although the chicken flavour are all ovals for whatever reason. Thanks for listening to my ted talk on Shapes.
@@Isaac1995 lifetime supply, first he should prove how many packs of shapes he could eat a day, and then multiplied by the estimated number of days left in his life, multiplied again by 3$
To be fair, I’d do that if I was given a lifetime supply of seed too. Once you plant your first crop, you can collect more seed at harvest time. Unless you buy from Monsanto; they’re greedy MFs.
@@danielhebard1865 Not sure if this is true, but I've been told that some varieties of Monsanto seed will alter the soil chemistry so only Monsanto can grow there.
@@gihrenzabi7271 Don't quote me on this, but farmers enter into agreements with Monsanto so that they can only use Monsanto seeds, and also they somehow make it to where you can't reuse the seeds you collect from the plants and you must buy more from them because they have patents on the seeds. I don't know how they can tell. I think they may send out people who work for the company to check your seeds. I saw a documentary about it. Idk if they are the only company who does it like that and idk if they have somewhat of a monopoly on the market, I'm not a farmer.
@@dangerdan2592 see what I've heard is that if a farmer has a neighbouring crop to a Monsanto crop, and the farmers crop intrudes onto the Monsanto crop, they can be charged.. I think. It's that, or something similar...
Ugh, I hate those "We'll give all of it to you know" contests. Won a lifetime supply of stationary at the grand opening of a store similar to a hybrid of staples and a computer supply store . It was three pallets packed with: printer paper, spiral notebooks, loose leaf paper, post it notes, spiral notebooks, a case of BIC pens (it was at least a thousand pens), other paper goods, lifetime 5% discount (stacks with sales and other promotions) card, and some card that let's me turn in dead printer cartridges for a new one. They will replace the ink cartridges for the most recent printer I bought at the store. Of course, the prices are higher than I am happy to spend, but the free ink offsets that to the point to where I'm saving more money than I spent on the printer. The vast majority of the pens, spiral notebooks, half of the printer paper and the loose leaf paper was donated to my highschool after I graduated. I still have a lot of what I kept in my attic, and it turns 20 years old in around two years.
@@MrBinks-un8ju We took the car to go there. Called home to get my Dad to bring the pickup truck. Paper goods are heavy. We had to unpack the pallets to distribute it around the bed of the truck. We got halfway home and remembered we went there to buy a computer and got distracted by winning.
Laws here (maybe elsewhere as well) now have to state exactly what you’ll get for winning, how many, how often, in the T&Cs, so the companies can be legally held to the reward (looking at you Arnotts Biscuits).
I entered a Facebook promotion with the hairy dude from Gardening Australia - there were no t&cs. He was promoting a show in Sydney and said I had won and would get a prize at the show. Ok! So i tell my friends and drive to Sydney from a regional area and buy 2 tickets to the show. No prize. I have since contacted him 3 times about it. First against the wall come the revolution: hairy plant-man.
@@empireofpeaches take that wookie to court and throw him in the compost bin. Proceed to buy millions of peach seeds and land. Grow a million peaches, peaches for me, millions of peaches, peaches for free. Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man, who sued a wookie from downtown. If i had my little way, I'd eat your peaches every day
I won a years worth of free ice cream (honestly can't remember the brand) at Dollywood in Tennessee when I was like 6. However, they didn't have that brand of ice cream where I lived, so my parents bought a bunch of coolers and dry ice and we got all the ice cream we could fit in our van from the store our last day in Tennessee. Great times.
Well considering regular Pringles can has about as much chips in it as regular medium size chips bag, and that 2 of those are barely enough to satiate an adult between the 3 major meals it does check out mathematically. Throw in a partner to the user or a party or two and it's even more easily explained.
@@fuzzyrockify she doesn't have to pay for anything else. she got a no deductible no copay premium. she is 100% covered for the rest of her life, so long as she doesn't miss a payment. AND the price doesn't increase as she ages. we're talking about american healthcare, where giving birth will set you back 5 figures, let alone a serious or prolonged health complication. the average cost of premium single healthcare is $440/mo. as an old lady, probably about double that. she caught an amazing deal!

Had a friend who won free Pizza for a month. He could go in every day and order any large Pizza but he could only get one. One month later and it turns out that there are still combinations he hadn't been able to try out yet. Pizza really is the most awesome food out there.

Biscuits or cookies (Are they sweet or savory)?Americans call what Brits call biscuits cookies and our biscuits are called scones over there but in America, scones are kinda like muffins.
Didnt won anything but i got a bitten into piece of chewing gum in my packet. It was in a blister type packet so i saw it before i opened it. I contacted the company (stimorol) and to make up they send me a giant box filled to the brim with all sorts of their chewing gum. I guess for them it would be cheaper. But hey i was so amazed by this i now never buy any other brand.
Darth Bane ive got several packs of empty kool aid and several that was clearly not strawberry and so far my twitter war has resulted in zero response, but alas I will not give up til they give me at bare min my fuckin 75 cents back for those empty packets, this will not stand!!!
>I was so amazed by this now I never buy any other brand This is the exact reason companies are so "generous" in these circumstances, to create loyalty within the consumer.
Usually a "lifetime supply" is based on "average consumption" ie. One can of Coca Cola a day for 100 years. So more than likely people are going to drink 3-4 a day and it'll last about 10-15 years
that Australian Arnott's biscuits would not honor contest prize a child won is disgusting! I wonder if Campbell Soup Company (currently owns Arnott's) would honor it... (assuming they still have the denial letter)
I had 2 friends that are Muslim that won a years supply of bacon at a bag toss tourney (Muslims never eat pork or anything like that) and this bacon was very high quality but they sold it for $13 a box (the bacon was $120 a box)
There was no contest, but shortly after this past Thanksgiving, a semi had its landing gear be damaged by some railroad tracks. The semi in question was going to the Wal-mart in my town. Because of the damage, the store rejected the whole shipment. I believe the trailer was 63 ft long, and entirely packed with eggs, so the driver, his family, and friends(?) were scrambling to give away all the eggs to anyone in the parking lot. Churches, homeless shelters you name it. I even saw some people at work with boxes of eggs the following Monday. to give an idea: one box would carry two grosses of eggs. and the pallets were stacked to the ceiling for the full length of the trailer.
Yea this happens a lot more than you would think actually. I used to work at a Petro truck stop near a Walmart distribution center and they would reject perfectly good pallets of goods just because they had splinters or shifted loads. Since the truck has to be completely empty before picking up it's next delivery and Walmart's forklifts didn't want to touch it because it was "unsafe" the drivers would usually come over to the Petro and have one of us use the shop forklift to unload the "unsafe" pallet(s) We would literally get pallets full of just about every grocery item you could imagine about 3-4times a week. Some items like potatoes would even have these neat foldable storage totes that we got to keep as well. We would usually have to call up local churches to dump this stuff off to because a lot of times it was too much for the entire truck stop to take home lol But yea talk about food waste..
The one with the Great Grandfather giving families who got off the train bags of seed to start their farm was so wholesome. If I knew that Great Grandather, I would of given a salute and said, "I respect you, good sir."
7:41 that is so amazing! Imagine being #daddy in your County. And spreading your newfound wealth amongst your community to allow everyone to thrive. Dude probably had a big historical impact in that area from that decision.
Does anyone have any experience with that "Publisher Clearance House" that gives people $5000 a week for life???? I've seen that commercial all throughout my childhood like 2000s-2010s and always wondered what they are (like an insurance company or something?) and why they give away $5000 a week for life like what do they gain out of that
My dad was the 500.000th customer at a local cinema and won a year of free movies. Turns out the card could be used to reserve tickets online, up to 5 at a time. We saw literally every movie that came out in 2015
Zaim Shahmi carter goes to my school. We go to manogue. It’s a private school in Reno Nevada. It’s a joke at our school because he has all this fame but the dude is weird as fuck and he always hits on girls who have no interest in him but he thinks he’ll get them because he’s “nuggs for carter”
My Mom bought a lifetime gym membership. It wasn’t that she only had to pay once, but that she paid extra one time to lock in the rate for life. It was a small gym that only had a couple of locations in town. She enjoyed that membership for 10-15 years, until it was time to pay the next year’s membership and they sent her a much larger bill. When she brought up her lifetime membership they just said “we don’t do that anymore.” They didn’t have a record of her paperwork, but even when she brought it in, they refused. She stayed with them anyway, because of the convenient location and the friends she had made at the gym. About that time, she noticed the quality of the gym was going downhill. The pool kept closing for maintenance. Equipment would break, but would not be replaced. A year or two later, she showed up to the gym to workout and found a note that they were permanently closed on the door. ( Or maybe one of her friends told her about it. I forgot.) 7 On Your Side got involved. The membership was for that location only, and you paid by the year. The news caught up with the owner, and she told them they would be able to use their membership at the remaining location. (This location was on the other side of town.) she also said she would reimburse everybody for the rest of their contract if they want it out. I don’t know if anybody ever saw any money. Mom only had a couple of months left for the year, so she just let it go. She now goes to another larger gym with my Dad. (The old gym was women only.) Their supplemental health insurance pays the membership for both of them.
Not a lifetime or even a years supply but back in '99 McDonald's UK were doing Beanie Babies as their happy meal toy. I worked in a toy store and my manager collected and sold them like a pro so he paid up front for 50 happy meals a week for 4 weeks to get the toys and just gave his staff the meals. After that I was so sick of them I stopped going to McDonald's for about a year.
so it doesn't exactly count as "winning" or anything in the question really, but this reminded me of the time in my life that, my dad was really good friends with the graveyard shift employee of this 7-11 that we went to. every other weekend, we would get in the car at 11 and go get the last of the donuts. the guy let us have them for free every time we did, and for that I'm still thankful. and yes, when people wanted the donuts we were picking out we would let them have it, but they did pay.
My friend used to work at a 7/11 and if I showed up after 2am he would just load me up with chicken and chicken wings, taquitos, everything for like 5 bucks. Usually walked out with 40 bucks in food easily.
Not really a life time supply but I entered a competition in a magazine giving away various appliances, furniture, tools, home goods, ect. I won a massive amount of garden fertilizer. Was hoping for like a table or a chair or something. I lived on a third story apartment in down town Seattle with the closest patch of living grass 3 blocks away. Sold it to my dad for some stupidity low price like 100 dollars just to be rid of it.
"I wasn't expecting to live so long." That's what I'll be saying if I live to be 80-100 as I smoke a pack a day, and binge drink. I'll be surprised if I live past 60.

Had nothing to do with me but years ago there was this story on the news about a guy winning a year supply of gas from some private gas station and they gave him his own ID proving he was the winner, had his face on it and all that so he couldn't sell it. Well, this gas station never gave parameters on how much gas he could actually claim and apparently him filling his gas tank twice a week was a bit more gas than they intended on giving away so they stopped refusing him service all together. They used their rights to refuse service to anyone for any reason but it turns out that refusing someone their winnings from a product that they purchased and rightfully won constitutes as fraud and the owner was all of the sudden facing criminal charges. In the end they gave him all the gas he wanted and after all the shit they put him through for it he decided a full tank once or twice a week was no longer enough and bought dozens of gas cans to fill up every time he went to fill his tank up and would offer to fill peoples' tanks while he was there.
I knew someone that won a lifetime supply of wings, which was 1 pound per day any day he went to the restaurant. But the restraunt closed 3 months later and he only went one or twice a week. Turns out the contest was one of things they tried to keep the doors open.
It might not be a "Lifetime supply" thing but here's a dream job if there ever was one: brewing company spokesperson. My grandfather's best friend was a spokesperson for Labatt Brewing Company. Not only did they just pay him for representing the brand, they also gave him free beer monthly, they gave him multiple tickets for sports events and paid him to attend such events as well. He got free tickets for NHL games, wrestling events ( back when wrestling was huge in the 80's and 90's ), boxing, MLB, etc., he had a free pass on multiple golf courses, he hung out with legendary ice hockey players on golf courses, from Jean Beliveau up to Vinny Lecavalier. He died about 10 years ago from a devastating stroke but he lived life on the fast lane up until his early 70's.
I won social security and got $7000 backpay, $800 per month, free gym membership, $125 a month for pharmacy stuff, life alert, free meals for a month if I go to hospital/emergency overnight, and much much more!
At one point in the 1940's Readers Digest wanted to build their readership and offered a lifetime subscription to the magazine for what was then about a 5-year subscription price. My guess is that the cost at the time would have been no more than $3,00, maybe less. Considering that a loaf of bread was about $.10 and chicken probably about $.05 or $.10 a pound that would have been a good chunk of change at the time. My high school biology teacher and her husband took the long view and bought the subscription in the name of their 1-year-old daughter. After about 20 or 25 years of magazines they got a letter from Reader's Digest saying they were terminating the subscription because they could find no record of recent renewals in the subscriber's name. Of course they would gladly renew the subscription at the current rate. Sadly for Reader's Digest, my teacher's husband was a lawyer who had carefully filed away every check they had ever written. He retrieved the original check which had "Lifetime subscription to Reader's Digest for (daughter's name) on the memo line. In addition, the original offer advertisement had been cut out of the magazine and filed with the check. (Ah, the forethought of a good lawyer!). They made copies of the front and back of the check and of the subscrition offer and mailed them to Reader's Digest with a copy of the daughter's current driver's license to indicate that she was still alive, and a letter tyoed on the law firm's letterhead stationery politely requesing that the terms of the offer be honored. I have not had any contact with the family for years, but as of 1985 the magazines were still arriving every month. I'm sure the original check, advertisment, and copies of the packet sent in the '60s are carefully filed somewhere--just in case. Gotta love it when the big corporation gets a good comeuppance.
When I was about 12, I entered one of those "guess how many jelly beans in a jar" contest at a local bank inside a grocery store, whose grand prize was a $100 grocery gift card. I ended up being the closest, and won. However, it turns out, if you aren't 18, you can't get the "cash" prize, they said, but they gave me the jar of jelly beans. It was a fun summer.
I had a big supply of coupons for free "Dos Tacos" from Tijuana Flats. My parents just brought them in, I don't even know how they got them. They expired in about 3 months but I had like 50 of those coupons. Whenever I wanted lunch I would just get tacos.
the burned down krispy creme story happened near my home town. it was the krispy creme in madison tennessee. somewhat unrelated story, a friend of mine worked at the the krispy creme in my town and got robbed at gun point in her car, while sitting in her work parking lot, about to go inside and clock in. I don’t remember what all they got, I think they took her phone and wallet but nothing else. Was still shocking and I am sure it left long lasting effects.
I remember when I was a kid my family bought a bag of mixed chocolates. For whatever reason the bag ended up only having 1 type of chocolate in it when we opened it. My dad got annoyed and called the company to complain. Their way of apologizing was to send us a "year's supply of chocolate". It was a big box of chocolate with all the other types inside of it. Lasted my family of 4 (all chocolate lovers) something like 6 months.
I won a lifetime of candybars. They sent like 20 every 2 months. I was known as a candyboy/candyman because after a few months, i gained 10 pounds and stopped eating them. Then i just gave them all away.
There was a competition to win a lifetime suply of chocolate once. I didn't win it, but I imagined the person who did just got one huge truck-sized block delivered that they had to chisel bits off. Also that movie card that expires in 2116 must have got somebody fired... or else it was their last day and they hated the job.
I won free milk for a year from Kroger, through a radio station. I was allowed 9 gallons a month. I used to go get the milk and checkout without buying anything else so when the cashier rang it up she would tell me the total, then I'd hand her my Kroger card and they would scan it and it would go to 0.00. I loved watching the perplexed look they would get and worry there was something wrong with the register. I also got first 100 for the first chick fil a in Michigan. I got 52 free number one combos. It was in a mall so it wasn't very convenient to go regularly so I didn't go often. I ended up buying like 22 meals on the last day and I passed some out to homeless people and kept the rest in the freezer.
Seems to me the results are about 50/50 split between companies being upright enough to honour their promotion and the other half finding any possible way to weasel out of supplying the person what they promised.
My friends and I camped in front of a pizza place (with a few bottles of vodka and a deck of Uno cards) that was advertising free pizza for a year for the first 20 customers after grand opening. Turns out it was one small pizza per week. Was kind of disappointed at that, but the pizza was amazing and it was worth it. Sadly, their advertising sucked and they closed after 6 months.
My mother’s friend and her son won a lifetime supply of theses straws with chocolate or strawberry beads that you drink with milk. I have not seen that product in a long time so the company probably went bankrupt.
"The downside is that I'm never eating, even a single oreo cookie, again". This is the kind of thing that makes me lose hope in the human race. Milkshakes, cakes, cupcakes and so much more, but you can only think of eating them in the form of cookies.
Never won a life supply but did win a Nintendo Switch on my Birthday 2 years ago from the dudes who made the Capture Cards for the 3DS in Japan. Took a bit of a month but I didn’t mind it. To bad they closed the company down... 😓😣

Dear, Rachel Sorry Rachel. I should clarify my original comment that was made in response to yours (as the original commenter). When I asked the clarifying question that I did, it was to mitigate any potential misunderstandings from your original intentions. As I'm sure you're aware, the original statement could potentially be misleading or grammatically uncertain. Given the context clues of the video mentioning both ridiculous and seemingly understandable amounts of products-varying from story to story-, it's difficult to tell for certain what your intentions were. In my curiosity, and my intentions to leave a simple silly little RU-vid comment on a video meant purely for entertainment, it appears that I did not use entirely scholastic appropriate grammar. My word choice was not entirely professional. I would like to extent my deepest apologies to you, Rachel, as that comment must have been an entirely confusing mound of gibberish without any conceivable meaning! You must been left utterly perplexed after reading it! After all, how could you possibly understand *my* intentions given *my* context clues! In conclusion, I apologize, and I look forward to hearing from you once again, Rachel, and seeing your response. From now and in all perpetuity, with graciousness, Kayla Edit: Oh no! It would appear that I made multiple grammatical errors that I edited after publishing this comment originally; how embarrassing!

Spain has a coffee brand that promises a for life 2000$ monthly pay to the winner of their lottery. They've been doing this for years. My cousin (25 years old at the time) won six years ago... and was murdered the following year.
