Found an unexpected free water bottle in my parcel from Leisure Lakes (a spoke wrench).

I'd rather have Haribo, though.

  • I got a tiny packet of Haribo from Wiggle. Though it a bit strange, is it normal practice for these guys to throw freebies in? :)

    Got a 'Untersetzer' from Rose Bikes - It was a piece of rubber - had to google the word to find out it was a coaster! And two sample size bottles of coffee flavoured something, which turned out to be caffeine enriched shampoo :D

    Better than Haribo (I'm vegetarian and diabetic)

    whenever I process a web or phone order at work (sports nutrition/fitness) I always throw a sample or two in, or if they're particularly nice on the phone I'll add a flapjack bar or something, too.

    I'd rather skip the 'free' gift and pay less for whatever I ordered.

    I've got about 20 High5 freebies from CRC and had a few gels. BikeTart gave me Haribo and High5's. Clee Cycles and Koo-Bikes haven't given me anything yet :( Had a few other freebies from other sites too.

    Wiggle: Haribo and High5s.

    Firebox put Haribo in too.

    I think it's nice. Couple of grams extra, makes you smile.

    Amazon: nothing. Faceless grumpy enormo-corporation.
