I won a cardboard boat race. I got a pink flamingo as a prize for first place because they didn't think anyone would finish the race so they didn't actually have a prize for the winner. Everyone else got a new life jacket.
Are you sure that was a contest?
It might have been a thinly-veiled attempt to hide the fact they didn't have enough life jackets for everyone on the ship.
its like r/shittyaskreddit except its lemmy
