Corn on the cob?!?!??! FFS!

That is excellent. You can't beat irrelevant merchandise. i couldnt in my wildest dreams have come up with PWEI microwave corn on the cob. Im sure its well past its use by date, the contents of the bag must be pretty rancid

I have, thank's to Doug Bonser, the Poppie Seeds Packet for This Is This which , erm a packed of poppie seeds with a sticker on it.

There was also a small plastic spade and fork or something for 'Can U Dig It'.

If only they had released Token Drug Song - they might have done a PWEI Promo Lemsip.

I assume you will be trying to purchase this, payback?!

How the hell is a 20 year old corn on the cob still in great condition?

[urban_futuristic]

the poppie seeds I understand... as do I understand the spade for Can U Dig It?
But corn on the cob... I have been thinking about this all day & still for the life of me cannot work out the relevance!
Baffling!

Pop Corn?

Eat it?

Fuck knows.

I'm sure there are legal issues shipping food to other countries though...never mind 20 year old foodstuffs...vac packed? freeze dried? Or has he put a new Cob in it?

[kjwylie]

If I had the cash to spare I'd buy it out of curiosity, the contents must be like dust. Just laughed at "excellent condition", im sure.

[payback3000]

He'd be better off chucking the cob and flogging the paper bag...which is what it is - a paper bag with some printing on it. I suspect the has put a new cob in there.

There is no way a cob can last from 1991 - 2012 is there?

...but the postage will be a killer and I suspect it will be eaten by rats en route. Can one of our Oz friends buy this to give it a good home.

Can I say it? Can I?

OK I'll say it - this is a really corny promo item!
