Apparently the story goes that this 20-25 year old bottle was found in 2016(?), which went viral online, and Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES anyway. (Plus a bunch of other stuff)

One time I bought a crunch bar in 1993. I won a free crunch bar. So I walked back into the store to redeem it almost immediately after walking out. THAT one won a free crunch bar. And again, I walked right back in and redeemed. THAT ONE TOO won a free chunch bar.

This went on for some time. After like the 6th one I stopped walking out, and just opened the wrapper at the counter. I ended up paying for 1 crunch bar, and walked away with 17.
