www.TheRandomShop.co.uk are causing fits of laughter as well and squeals of horror with their newest prank Christmas gift idea, where customer can send a pair of crusty pants to a "friend" as a prank.
The Random Shops latest prank Christmas gift idea is the ever so naughty; home delivered, gift wrapped crusty pants!
(1888PressRelease) September 30, 2008 - www.TheRandomShop.co.uk, one of the UK's leading online gift idea shops, has created what is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. A gift product that is more likely to cause a rift instead of being a cherished gift. The now infamous 'home delivered, gift wrapped crusty pants'.
At this stage it should be known that pants in the UK are what are known in the states as "tighty whiteys", the non-flattering y-fronted variety.
The prank was created by the owners of the website who are all university graduates, so it is nice to know that these chaps degrees have been put to good use.
Roy Bellis The Random Shops marketing manager explains: "The concept for the home delivered crusty pants was formulated 5 years ago in a university prank that was so funny that it had to be a hit prank in the gift market".
Mr Bellis went on "We use a secret formula to create both the texture and smell of how a pair of crusty pants should be", "the key to this gift prank is that the item is firstly ordered by the pranker and the delivery address is set as the prankee's address. The crusty pants are created by hand and then are beautifully gift wrapped so that when the recipient receives the item they think it is a lovely surprise gift, but when they open it they get the shock of their lives".
www.TheRandomShop.co.uk certainly have created a prank so Random it seems fitting that it has come from the self proclaimed "home of random gift ideas".
So far The Random Shop are averaging 1 sale per week of "home delivered crusty pants", but they have said that this is expected to rise to 1 a day during the busy Christmas gift buying period.
One cautious note from The Random Shop to potential buyers of the home delivered crusty pants is to ensure that you set the delivery address as the person who you want to prank, because if not you will be getting a nasty surprise of your own!
