I'm dating myself a bit (and probably repeating this story, but oh well...):
Remember when bags of potato chips and such had "instant win" things printed on the inside of the bags? You open your chips, and you have a 1 in 4 or whatever chance of winning a free bag of chips?
When I was a kid, someone seriously f'd up. The local convenience store got an entire shipment in where every single bag was a winner. It took us a couple of days to figure this out, but once we had... my friends and I formed a near-continuous queue, getting our free bags, dumping the contents into larger containers, and redeeming for the next one. We probably ended up with over 100 bags of Hickory Sticks before the store ran out.
As a child back before $100 allowances, we might as well have won the lottery. To this day I can barely eat the things anymore.
