I never got the full story on how they got them, but my grandparents somehow ended up with two dozen or so pallets of Tic Tacs of various flavors. To put this in perspective, consider how big those plastic containers that Tic Tacs come in are. Now consider how many you could fit in a fully stacked pallet, and multiply it several times over. It was pretty awesome...until we ran out of orange ones. -

When I was a kid I won a "life time" supply of Lipton Ice Tea. Between me and my friends we went through it in less than two years. A life time supply is a projected number based off the average users drinking habits. Oh and I never want to drink a Lipton ice tea ever ever again. -
3.
I won lifetime passes to the Oregon Aquarium for being, like, their fifth millionth visitor. My original pass didn't expire until, like, the year of 2999. Then when I got a replacement, it showed the expiration as 2099. They got smart. I planned to name every child my name so they all could use that pass. -

Not a supply exactly but I won Life time free entry pass for a mini golf club in Myrtle Beach by making a near impossible shot(for me) in their final special round. Still consider it the biggest achievement of my life:)) -
5.
A friend of mine won a lifetime supply of Juicy Fruit gum when she was 12 years old. She told me that she was absolutely in love with Juicy Fruit at the time. Her mom entered her in this random contest as a joke. One day, without any notice, UPS showed up at her door with about 15 huge boxes. She was so confused... So they open up the boxes and there it was... a couple thousand packs of gum. The company never sent her a letter or any piece of acknowledgement that she won, just a ton of gum. Today (about 12 years later) the sight of Juicy Fruit makes her sick :( -

New York has a trendy, expensive spot that does an annual food writing contest for their hot chocolate, which is kind of like a mug of warm pudding with fancy homemade marshmallows. Some upscale folks are really passionate about it come winter, and the place is established enough that they get lots of submissions. Even some well-known writers supposedly submit their entries. Anyhow, my sister lives near the place and insisted I enter and win the contest so she could have the prize, a week of free $6 hot chocolates. The theme that year was: 'Hot chocolate: with or without marshmallows, and why?' My contribution was a completely over the top, multi-generational epic designed to at least land third place in the long-form category. The story won, and they decided to create a new category for it they called 'best screenplay potential.' My sister was thrilled." "About a year later, I was in the place for only the second time, since a friend wanted to try what was supposedly the best hot chocolate in the city. The manager says, 'Hey, you're that guy that wrote that story!' I was shocked since he'd only met me once, a year earlier. I asked how on earth he remembered me, and he said it was because my year of free hot chocolate was up. They gave my sister and me a YEAR of free hot chocolate instead of a week because they liked the story so much, but they never told us -

My friend won a year's supply of dairy products. They arrived all at once. On a very big truck. Where do you put a year's supply of dairy products? -
8.
A friend of mine won a "lifetime supply" of Smarties from a distributor. The delivery was a 120lb case of Smarties. He's a professional film editor, so he spends a LOT of time at his computer. He also is often too lazy to cook proper meals (as we all are sometimes). He put the 120 lb case of Smarties next to his desk, and then proceeded to consume all of it in a matter of weeks. -

I currently receive what seems to be a lifetime supply of toilet paper. Over 20 years ago, I became fond of a variety of Charmin that was infused with baby oil [because] it was so soft and smooth. When I moved for work, the local stores didn't have baby oil Charmin, and I was told that it didn't exist. I called Proctor and Gamble to find out what was up, and was told that the baby oil version was only offered as a test market and didn't turn out so well, so it was no longer sold in stores. I was crushed. The company did, however, take my name and address, and I was told that I would receive coupons in the mail for my inquiry, and interest in their product. About three weeks later, a box arrived from Proctor and Gamble that contained two separate four packs of toilet paper, one marked 'A' and the other 'B.' The letter that was enclosed stated that since I had such a penchant for toilet paper, I had been selected to test out their new varieties." "I was instructed to use the package marked 'A' for a week, and then switch to the package marked 'B' the following week. After two weeks, I received a call from the company asking about the results of my test. They asked questions like, 'Could I name three adjectives describing my experience with both types of paper?' It was definitely a phone call to remember. At the end of the call, I was told that I would receive coupons and other considerations in the mail for my participation in this test. Ever since then, I have received a free four-pack of Charmin toilet paper once a month, every month. This has gone on for over 20 years, and it does not look like it will stop -

My brother-in-law won the Chipotle Adventurrito thing and won free burritos for a year. There are 52 coupons for burritos. He's used some of them, but now he uses them as alternative currency. Homeless man asking for money? Chipotle burrito. Not sure what to do for a casual gift? Chipotle burrito coupon. Want to tip a person without giving money? Here's a burrito. Guess what I got for Christmas? -

Not a 'lifetime,' but my family once won a year's supply of Oreos. When we were kids, we were rarely allowed to eat junk food. But when my little brother was really sick and wouldn't eat, my mom was so desperate to get him to eat something, she told him that he could have any food in the world he wanted. He picked Oreos. The one box of Oreos we bought turned out to be the winning box of a year's supply of Oreos. How many, you ask, is a year's supply of Oreos?" "I'm glad you asked, hypothetical reader. It was 365 boxes. For a family of four individuals who did not normally eat junk food, this was quite more than one year's worth of Oreos for us. We kept a couple of boxes, and then my parents took the rest to a food bank as they were delivered -

I won a life time supply of shampoo, they come in mini bottles each month and are great gifts for people who you don’t like that much but you don’t want to offend. -
13.
I won a lifetime supply of pop-tarts when I was about younger. They sent a big box with around 30 of the normal shelf boxes in it every three months for about three years and then started dwindling off to eventually not sending any. I could never get into contact with someone to do anything about it either so I just let it go. Hell, I feasted like a king on pop-tarts for years as a kid... No bs about it either, I didn't even realize I had won until I received the first huge box. I even hid the boxes from my parents and sister for a while because I didn't want to share but that didn't last long. You can only do so much as a kid to hide dozens of boxes when you don't take out the trash and they eventually started finding full boxes of pop-tarts everywhere and had come to the conclusion that I was stealing them for fun. -

My buddy doesn't want to make an account, so I'm posting this for him. When he was 16, he won a lifetime supply of M&Ms. He found one of the packs with all white M&Ms. The contest was to win $1,000,000. He gave it to his mom and had her send it in since he wasn't 18. She didn't believe he had won a million dollars, so she procrastinated sending it in. After she eventually did, they got a letter stating that they had not gotten the wrapper sent in on time, so no million bucks, but they were gonna get a lifetime supply of M&Ms. In the letter was a redemption card he could send in and get 52 coupons for 1 pack of free M&Ms each, plus a redemption card for the next year. He did this for 5 or 6 years until he lost the redemption card. The first year he got all of the M&Ms and ate them himself. After that, as soon as he got them, he would usually trade all 52 coupons for a quarter bag of weed. As you can imagine, he really wished he had gotten the million. -
15.
My dad won a lifetime supply of Subway sandwiches. By "won" I mean that the owner of a subway hit him with her car while he was walking through the parking lot and he didn't sue. -
16.
I won a lifetime supply of Kraft mac 'n' cheese. But, being in college, it only lasted two quarters -
17.
Turtle Wax...a whopping 7 jars. I own no car. -
18.
I won a lifetime supply of Mnt Dew at MLG Dallas 2006. It was like only a month's worth though. They had a truck pull up to my moms house, I opened the garage and they brought in like 5 dolleys worth. Thats why I needed 4 root canals in 2007 -
19.
My mom and dad bought a water softener about 22 years ago. With it came a lifetime supply of bar soap. The company gave it to them all at once. It was a pallet of bar soap, thousands of bars of soap. They still have a bunch of it. -
20.
My grandmother didn't "win" this, per se, but her father bought her a lifetime subscription to National Geographic when she was a child. She still receives it. I inherit all her old issues (she brings them to me when she's done with them). I have a collection that dates back to 1924; I recycled many of the more common ones from part of the 1940s-2000s, but kept the oldest ones. I guess this is a little off topic. -
21.
I once won a year’s supply of Golden Grahams. It was shipped to my house in a giant, unmarked, neon yellow box. My dad thought it was a bomb. -
22.
I had a teacher who got a lifetime supply of Tide. He bought a box at the grocery store, and it was half empty for some reason, so he wrote a really polite letter to Tide to let them know. A truck showed up at his house with a lifetime supply of Tide. They used to give it away as gifts to dinner guests and friends because they didn't know what to do with all of it. One day, he got a call from his mom saying she was using the final box. Apparently, it lasted for a good number of years, though. It would have lasted for longer if they didn't give most of it away -
23.
When I was a kid I won a contest at a local ice cream shop where you guess the number of jelly beans in a jar and won a lifetime supply of free milkshakes. Unfortunately the place went out of business a few months later. -
24.
I won a year's supply of Chick-fil-A at a grand opening. They gave us 52 free Chick-fil-A sandwich vouchers, which could luckily be used for nuggets as well. Considering how many of those nuggets I would've eaten if it had been unlimited, they got off very easily. I worked next door to a Chick-fil-A that summer, and I ate nuggets for lunch. Every. Single. Day. -
25.
When I was a kid, my Tastykake had a human fingernail in it. I was eating one of those delicious pink snowballs when I bit into something hard instead of the creamy, icing-y goodness that snowballs are known for. [So,] I won a year's supply of Tastykakes. Every week, a new box would be at my house. As a 10-year-old kid, life was pretty good. -
26.
I won a "lifetime supply" of Sour Punch Straws on a kid's radio show. It was a pretty big box, but it didn't even make it to my adulthood, much less my whole life. -
27.
My wife ended up with crates of maxi pads and a lifetime supply of Tums. She worked with a market research firm that would give household products to select consumers to gather information on their experiences with the products. Items like soap, toothpaste, and deodorant were commonly placed. The firm received way too many sanitary napkins in one study, and too many Tums in another. The surplus products are not needed at the end of the study and they typically have no labels, so they cannot be sold commercially, and the supplier never wants them back." "So the staff can take the items home. My wife, being the thrifty darling she is, grabbed every single crate of pads available since no one else wanted them. They filled our basement, and it took her many years to get through them all. We still have Tums. -
28.
I won a lifetime supply of a particular brand of ice cream in a local naming contest when I was 12, but I didn't get it all at once. It all accounts to a certain amount of tubs in the form of a voucher that I am able to use over and over again, but I'm not sure what that amount is. I don't keep track of it on account of the fact that I'm lactose intolerant. -
29.
My friend recently won free alcohol for a week at our local pub. It was literally unlimited drinks each night for seven nights. I had to drive him to the hospital on the second night. -
30.
My dad won a lifetime membership to the "holiday health spa" it went out of business a few years later. Now he weighs 300+ pounds and blames it on that
