Church of the Sub Genius
Forums:
New documentary (2019) is out there for Bob heads. An 80s and 90s movement if you aren't familiar.

I would figure that there are some Zoners out there that sent in a dollar to join. (Slacker, Is this where you got your handle?)

Not too many folks demanding their refunds, I'd guess.
In Wellfleet on Cape Cod, there used to be - perhaps still is - a trash collection company that had as their motto "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your garbage back!".
