    Got a few things that never amounted to much. Rejected meat (bulging box) that I gave to a local restauranteur. Free Bon Appetit pastries. A bunch of fruit..

    Best freebie I ever got was a joyride. I bumped this guy's dock blindside around a corner in one shot and went over to ask him if there was anywhere I could walk to go get a bite. He said "We'll be done in 45 minutes, you dont walk" and tossed me his keys. I go around front and hit the remote, the lights flash on a black Caddy CTS-V. Plates read "V ATE 1". Made my day.

    had a load of frito type chips one time and they left a box on the trailer cuz it was busted a little, so gave a couple bags to another driver and ate the rest for weeks.

    another had a load of kitty litter but the recv didnt like several bags being busted or not stacked right, ended up giving them to the security guard at the gate for his granddaughter who had a new kitten. so ya it worked out not having to throw them away.

    Kitty litter = traction. Never throw that away unless you never leave Sesame Street (I-!0 or I-20). I carry kitty litter mixed with 1/3 salt in the truck always. I bought it. You could have had it for free.
