Well that's a whole lot better than I was expecting when I saw your thread title. About 6yrs ago my buddy opened a pail to find a small crescent wrench in his, after sending the wrench with pictures back to IO the company admitted the wrench was there's. They sent him 10 free pails, a bunch of tshirts and some hydrometers.
IO has been doing the free shirt promo as long as they having been making there product, so if you only got a shirt consider yourself lucky lol:biggrin:

First time I've seen tshirts. Cool.

Usually Fish food samples.

Meh, I'd take a wrench over a shirt any day.

Pffft, a while back, I was mixing some salt and I found a small grey "stone" in the mix. Thinking nothing of it, I grabbed it and was immediately seized by the worst pain to ever hit my fingertips. THOUSANDS of tiny metal filings slivering my fingers (sorta like how a bristleworm nails you, for anyone familiar with that bit of fun).

On the other hand, I do have a collection of purple plastic scoops now!

Yep, very inconsistent. The salt from my previous bucket was all clumped up and I had to use a chisel and hammer to break it up into chunks. It also produced cloudy water. I've had bad 50g bags as well in the past that I wanted to return to the store. My current bucket is completely different and dissolves well and produces clear water.

only thing that I got from IO buckets are the gel food which no fish likes to eat.

tried it and fish loved it, through it out though when realized no expiry date.

Here's my bucket of IO from around 2004 with the yellow free t-shirt sticker on the outside. Back then, the t-shirt was white with an orange logo. Not as nice as it is today. :)

In my 6 or so years reeding I've had gel food, t shirts (2 so far), and purple scoops. I think I go through about 6 buckets a year.
