I'm Game

What could be more perfect than waking up on a bright Christmas morning with a new blanket of clean, fresh snow on roofs and lawns. As the family gathers around the tree, your wife hands you a big mug of rich coffee flavored with peppermint-mocha creamer. Presents are exchanged amidst squeals of joy and laughter. With beaming faces, everyone sits down to a breakfast of bacon and eggs to fortify them for the fun-filled day ahead.

Later, a mince pie, that has been cooling on a rack for hours, its tantalizing aroma wafting about the house, is cut into wedges to tide everyone over till dinner.

When dinner is finally served, turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, roasted root vegetables, and Brussels sprouts grace the table. The promise of a blazing Christmas pudding to end the meal hearkens.

Well now you can have all of that and more in the convenience of a single can.




That's right, the "Christmas Tinner," the brainchild of British graphic designer Chris Godfrey, features a nine-course holiday meal, layered into one pull-tab tin can. No major shopping trips or budget busting checkout totals, no lengthy preparation, no cooking, no cleanup! Just fine dining from the comfort of your own La-Z-Boy recliner, as you spoon your way through a gourmet meal without missing a moment of your favorite bowl game or TV show.

As a spokesman for the company explained, "It’s the ultimate innovation for gamers across the nation who can’t tear themselves away from their new consoles and games on Christmas Day – the first all-in-one festive feast in a tin."

Advertising for the "Tinner" shows a cross-section of the layers as they appear in the can, and it looks every bit as appetizing as it sounds.




Needless to say, the product, in stores and online, is sold out.
