A group of students have come up with a cunning plan to help anyone who can’t afford a meal out.

Let’s just take a moment to have a think here. How on earth could anyone possible get a free meal out without some sort of discount code or voucher?

The truth is: you can’t.

Let’s delve deeper. When dining out, what’s the one thing that practically always ensures you’re given your meal free as an apology?


A goddamn hair in your food, that’s what.

And now, these students are cashing in on it.

In an attempt to raise some money for the final year of their Creative Advertising degree show, students Jord and Lib decided they’d sell Jord’s beard hair so that people could drop them in their meals and claim a discounted price – or a full refund.



Selling what they deem to be ‘free meal tokens’ at £2.50 a piece on eBay, their sales pitch says:

Ever had a meal that you wish you didn’t have to pay for? Ever wanted a meal that you couldn’t afford? We have the answer! My beard hair provides the ultimate get out clause.. ‘Oi waiter! What’s this f***ing hair in my meal?’ ‘Oh I am so sorry sir, it doesn’t look like one of ours, I’ll get it sorted for you.’ A short while later after you’ve finished your meal… ‘We are so sorry for the incident sir, we’ve fully refunded your meal and given you a complimentary voucher to come back again if you wish.’

Of course, you don’t really think anyone’s going to buy some random lad’s beard hair, but apparently, the students have had a fair bit of interest.

Jord told LadBible: ‘About ten of my hairs are out on the loose ready to get a free meal for someone, but I’ve got plenty more to give.’
