A former coworker of mine said that once he was representing his company at a trade show, and they had a "box full o' cash" that was a prize. Supposedly, if you visited their booth, you'd get a key, and if the key opened the box, you got the cash. They had a "big box o' keys" to choose from.
I was incensed, because he said that they wouldn't let you pick the key from the big box o' keys. They would hand you a key, and none of the keys fit the box. They had the real key hidden under their table, and saved it for one of their big clients.
He was just an intern at the time, and he said it was embarrassing, because some of the keys were ludicrous. The big box o' cash had your basic padlock on it, and he said that sometimes he had to hand the person a big skeleton key or a little suitcase key, and they'd get disgusted.
Imagine how disgusted they would be if they knew the real story. And this was a very large, world-known company, too.
