ThinkGeek Releases Canned Unicorn Meat...WHAT?!
17 Novembre 2010 - 9:00PM
ThinkGeek is proud to announce the immediate availability of its
Canned Unicorn Meat just in time for Thanksgiving! Unlike the
original April Fool's recipe, which called for crushed horn bits,
magical unicorn flesh and sparkles, the final formula includes six
prime cuts of the softest plush unicorn this side of the rainbow.
Each can of Canned Unicorn Meat contains six individual, plush
pieces: a torso, four legs, and of course the head, complete with
the magical horn still attached. The distinctive Radiant Farms
logo will bring back fond memories of those bygone days of early
2010 when ThinkGeek announced the original formula and sparked a
national debate on the status of mythical meat products.
The original release of Canned Unicorn Meat earned ThinkGeek a
12 page cease-and-desist letter from the National Pork
Board. After apologizing, ThinkGeek took the extraordinary
step of redefining the formula to eliminate any confusion between
"The Other White Meat" and a mythical meat product which happened
to be mostly sparkles and magic.
"We worked hard to create the perfect protein, something that
would replace the traditional Thanksgiving meal, but getting enough
supply of the original recipe proved...difficult," says Ty Liotta,
head of product development at ThinkGeek. "In the end, we
developed an alternative that we believe will delight every family
when they sit down at the table this Thanksgiving."
Unicorn meat, it's the perfect protein and it's what's for
dinner! Be warned... this meat is not approved by any
government entity and is definitely not recommended for actual
ingestion.
Canned Unicorn Meat is available on ThinkGeek.com for
$11.99. For more information, contact PR representative
