Drunk man buys a gigantic Pokémon after having a few, epic quest to get Snorlax delivered starts
Be honest, you know someone exactly like this.
If anyone tells you that their judgement is always crystal clear after having a few, you can politely turn around and call them a liar.
Whether or not it's forgetting your keys, falling asleep on the ride home, or drunk dialling your best friend, nobody's perfect after a night on the beer.
This being said, as always, please drink responsibly.
On this note, a man named Callum Underwood woke up to see a very interesting transaction on his bank balance because after heading out for a few brews, he decided that it would be a good idea to order a gigantic Snorlax while drinking with colleagues in San Francisco, which is where he had been at the time for work.
Originally from Newcastle, Mr Underwood decided to fork out £200 to buy the gigantic Pokémon teddy. As you do.
After realising that it was going to cost £800 to ship the teddy back to Newcastle, he decided to ask Twitter for help.
Just look at the size of that monster.
This teddy could genuinely crush a small child!
Please help me twitter, I ordered this large boi when I was drunk, and had it delivered to my friend in America. It's going to cost $1000 to ship here to the UK. The box is fucking massive, and weighs 16.80 lbs. Any creative solutions for getting it back from San Francisco to UK? pic.twitter.com/hlBAbs3B2U

Rather than be perturbed, Callum persevered and for the best part of a month, Snorlax travelled around from state to state, airport to airport.
Im legit terrified they won’t accept it. Update in 30 mins 😬😬😬

Callum could have just decided to gut Snorlax and remove the fluff - that's genuinely the stuff of nightmares for young children - but he committed to the challenge of getting his cuddly Pokémon delivered to England.
After applying plenty of elbow grease, he managed to compress Snorlax into a box that the airlines deemed acceptable as luggage.
They accepted him - but no tape to close him so he might climb out during the flight. 2 flights to go!!! pic.twitter.com/6aImICcfRm

One last big cuddle before handing him back to be repacked. He’s now out of my site but NOT out of mind 😘 pic.twitter.com/5W8dk46Ab1

Ultimately, was it worth the effort?
Well, let's just say that Callum will be sleeping better now because he has a gigantic f**king teddy that's bigger than some apartments in Dublin beloved Pokémon in his room.
Next time, maybe he should just order a Dominos instead?
He’s getting used to his new home will need a few days to expand and get into shape I think.
I don’t have a soundcloud so go stream on @caffeine I guess 🤓 pic.twitter.com/t0ElbVG7ae— Callum Underwood (@DevRelCallum) November 20, 2018
