I liked one found at Wikipedia,

"...Free -free

a trip to Mars

for 900

empty jars

Burma Shave..."

When a man sent in 900 empty jars they ended up sending him and his wife on vacation to Moers (often pronounced "Mars" by foreigners), Germany. I'd thought they would send the man from Appleton, Wisconsin to Mars Hill, Maine.
