Your weirdest "freebie"?

Inspired by a message left by the Queen of the Pirates herself on my Blackberry topic, I decided to ask you guys a simple question:

Have you ever bought something and then found out that something completely unexpected came along with it?

In @Zerpina's case, it was a 2 GB SD Card still inserted on a dead or dying phone found at a yard sale.

In my case: I once bought a pair of headphones and they came with a neat little adapter used to hook them up to an old stereo through the universal Mono jack found at the front of many — really, really cool.

You?

I got some free seashells from a thriftstore beach bag i bought. It was in the pocket and a tiny Ariel mermaid was with it. :)

When buying the used and cheap Wii, I found inside a disc of a "Just Dance" games, so I've been able to test the console reader (for later resale).

I bought a 8BitDo Xbox controller and it had a free month of gamepass ultimate included i had no idea about.

Shortly after my siblings and I bought our Metroid Prime Edition GCN back in 2002, I was walking home from the bus stop and I found a 59 Block Animal Crossing Memory Card just laying on the ground before me. I thought it was a trick or something. But no I just lucked out I guess. I was fucking STOKED since we didn't have enough to get one when we got the system. Rushed home, popped that sucker in and got fully immersed into Metroid Prime and Smash Melee later.

Magical times.

The day I bought PS3, I also went to buy a TV for it, the store was having an event where you could win prize from a lucky draw for every $100 spent or so.

I won another PS3.
