Christmas Tinner

    Too busy playing your new Xbox One or PS4 to cook a turkey this Christmas? Fear not. UK video game retailer GAME has a solution – an all-day Christmas feast in a tin.
    Dubbed 'Christmas Tinner', the product consists of nine layers of processed festive food, including scrambled egg and bacon, two mince pies, turkey and potatoes, gravy, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, brussel sprouts or broccoli (for those who don't like sprouts) with stuffing, roast carrots and parsnips, and Christmas pudding.
    The disgusting-sounding concoction is already been sold in GAME's Basingstoke store for £1.99, and the company is considering a national rollout if there is enough gamer demand.
    “According to new research almost half (43 per cent) of the nation’s gamers plan to spend the majority of Christmas day playing on their new consoles and games," said GAME in a statement.
    “That’s why retailer GAME has developed the Christmas Tinner, enabling gamers to get their teeth into GAME play all day without having to miss out on a mouthful of their favourite food or do the washing-up.”

    Christmas Tinner creator Chris Godfrey, a design student, added: “I tried to ensure when creating the menu that all the flavours complemented one another and it was designed so that gamers can eat one layer at a time, starting with breakfast and finishing off with Christmas Pudding – the perfect Christmas Day meal without any of the fuss.”
    Recent research by Domino’s Pizza found that gamers will do almost anything to carry on playing. Almost half of male gamers admitted they have turned down sex to continue playing, while a fifth of female gamers said they had missed weddings and hen dos.

    This looks brutal. Are you brave enough to try it?

    I'm hungover feeling fragile and that picture just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit :(

    Ah here, who would buy that?

    Even if you were too busy playing your new console to cook you could easily get a Christmas dinner takeaway a day or two before and reheat it.

    I'm hoping it's just a gimmick to attract media attention and not something that will actually sell.

    People would buy that as a present for their son or whatever. 'Tis not to be taken seriously.

    I suppose you could almost say, it's Christmas dinner in a tin, so it's Christmas "Tinner".

    They eat some crap beyond in England. Pies out of cans, spam, smash. Pissy cheap rotten beer. Mushy peas with chips? With gravy poured all over it. Yuk.

    Ever see the chicken coming out of a can?!

    I guess you could nearly say, after reading something funny, your bladder almost and uncontrollably emptied and you almost covered yourself in a liquid waste product that your body produces to rid itself of excess water, toxins, ammonia, salts and dead blood "cells".

    Pretty sure this is fake.
