My mum won our N64 in a toilet paper competition, which was great because we wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise. My brother and I spent so much time together playing on it and I don't think I've ever enjoyed games quite as much as I did at that time.

What?

His mother won his family's N64 in a promotional prize draw by sending off coupons cut out of toiler paper packaging.

That would make sense. I was hoping for some sort of art competition where you could only use toilet paper and its rolls/packaging for your artwork.

What kind of toilet paper competition?

One where you win an N64! It was some sort of mail-the-coupon-in thing from Andrex in the UK.
