mystery bag

Contents remain hidden

A mystery bag is a sealed container whose contents are unknown to the buyer, purchased for the surprise element.

Common in retail promotions and conventions, where customers pay a set price for random merchandise: I got three mystery bags at the anime convention.

In Australian slang, a mystery bag is a sausage—you never quite know what's inside.
