"...I can't complain too much – Yes I can, this is ridiculous!"

IRVINE—The winner of a recent car giveaway is facing a dilemma of excess – not with cars, but with an overwhelming number of shirts. The giveaway required participants to purchase shirts and merchandise for a chance to win the coveted car, and the lucky winner finds himself pondering what to do with the thousands of shirts he bought.

The bewildered winner, sharing his thoughts on the unexpected predicament, exclaimed, "I never thought I'd own so many shirts in my life! What am I supposed to do with all of them? I guess I'll have to use some to wash my new car. Maybe I'll be generous and give a few to my girlfriend to use as sleepwear when I get a girlfriend. It's a bizarre problem to have, but I can't complain too much – Yes I can, this is ridiculous!"

On the flip side, the company that hosted the giveaway seems unfazed. A spokesperson for the company remarked, "We're thrilled that the car giveaway was such a success. The response exceeded our expectations, and the revenue generated from shirt sales was substantial. As for what the winner does with the shirts, it's entirely up to him. We've achieved our goal, and the success of the giveaway speaks for itself. Whether he wears them, donates them, or turns them into a car-washing bonanza, we don't care."

This tale of an abundance of shirts as a byproduct of a car giveaway is a problem that's become more and more common. The winner, caught between gratitude for the car and confusion over the surplus of shirts, reflects the waste that can accompany such promotional events. As the winner contemplates the fate of his newfound shirt collection, one thing is certain – he won't be running out of car-washing material anytime soon.
