US zip code 20050 only has one house.

(The White House)

Nice idea :) i hate it when I'm asked for my zip code even for small purchases, so I give a random one. I'll do it line you from now on.

I always give them 4711 (a brand name for a very famous German Eau de Cologne, http://www.4711.com/index.php/en/).

Quite often they don't even get it.

If you use the same zip code every time, they still know who you are.

While funny indeed, statistically speaking you'd be giving them the least amount of information by supplying the largest zip code.

Or if you're in the southwest, I recommend 78266, which is Büsingen, a German enclave in Switzerland.
