50 years ago, a young engineer in my group placed an order for a small hook in the early days of metrication of the auto industry. Since the potential sales volume was several hundred thousand, a sample was delivered free...... In a crate, cuz the huge hook was about 150 pounds. Poor guy didn't get fired but man did he take a ribbing!
 
A store I worked for in high school was handing out free fly swatters, because the boss trusted me with the task of placing an order. Apparently the fly swatter unit of measure for the order was "CASE" Who knew. lol ( He is lucky it was the only item I messed up on.)
