28/5: Now $5

So, you think your under-achieving child has everything?

Well, now you can take advantage of this bargain - only 20 "4th Place" ribbons, which you can give them after they come home from school sports carnivals again empty handed. Technically they are better than "Highly Commended" and the dreaded "Participation" ribbons.

Other uses: For giving the fat kids next door that never win anything

Olympics countries - we know your competitors miss out on anything after Bronze, so why not reward your athletes with these great "4th place" ribbons, which are almost as good as winning the Bronze. Kind of like how the Channel 10 Breakfast show was almost as good as the Channel 7 and 9 breakfast shows.

And for the maths-minded, this bargain works out to be approx 35c per act of condescension

And it has (correctly) been pointed out that you have to factor in delivery costs, but I can help with that. If you buy $50 worth of these demoralising items, you can also save yourself from spending on delivery costs, I think.

Edit - best comment post so far (imho) from tonyjzx "send a pack to mark webber"

    Well it really depends how many guys she's been with. 4th out of 4 guys, not so good. 4th out of 100, give yourself a pat on the back!

  I always was the worst at Vickick/Auskick so I always won the "encouragement award", it came with a McDonalds voucher as part of the certificate itself (McDonalds were/are the major sponsor) so that was a good bargain.

  Nothing like encouraging the kids to do sport with a McDonalds reward, not that I captured that irony at the time.

  I am now a loyal McDonalds customer.

  I do hope people give this a positive because it is a good "deal" for them and not just hit the positive button thinking its the same as "liking" something in fb…

    There was 70 of these available a couple of minutes before the deal was posted on ozbargain. 318+ later… there's still 59 in stock. I think you've nailed it, equinoxxx :) I gave a + because OP has a wicked sense of humour but couldn't care less about the deal itself.
