Exactly, plenty of people buy porridge to eat on the bank, which at top end will be over a quid. I wont be ordering but can see the appeal, the convenience, and most importantly nothing wasted.

"Laziness is expensive"

Wise words.

Although if there is a market for this it will do well, if it will fail. It's not hurting anyone, if you don't need don't buy it, if you do then buy it. Simple really.

TBF it's probably healthier than the stuff i eat..

Jesus Christ - what the **** is coming next in this carp game.

Had to endure photos over the last 5 years of bogging cups and spoons because apparently it looks carpy (whatever the **** that is) from bank tramps. Would rather drink a brew out of my boot that one of those things.

Now we have Fink Food with every "superstar" promoting it across social media. These folk would sell their own kids for a bit of media exposure. Only one real angler not showing his colours, good old TH, gone underground for the past couple of years apart from the odd ESP video.

Remember "no stickers on my buckets mush".........Uhhh righto then....

But putting 3 weetabix from the cupboard in my foodbag together with a bowl from home is just as convenient and costs a fraction of the price....

In the grand scheme of things it is absolutely pants down expensive.... 11p per weetabix from your cupboard or 33p from Fink Food.....convenience doesn't cost 200% more.

Fink... Or Fick?

I look forward to reading their business accounts in a couple of years. I suspect they will do quite well for a few months before even the sheep realise things are a trifle expensive.

Home delivery is a proven business model, but these prices are more Fortnum and Masons than Tesco.

And Fareham will get it all stuck in that beard anyway.

It costs £2 for a kilo of Quaker oats, or a quid for 57grams of a convenient pot in the supermarkets, so not sure what your point is??

The ironic thing is Scott Lloyd openly lives on takeaways, Elliott Gray has admitted to not eating when fishing and Gaz Fareham weighs about 7 stone...wet! Get Jim Shelley and Ian Poole on board I say

Haha, that's a good point. Mind you Jim does seem to eat rather well on the bank!

Good luck to the lads at Fink, it's an interesting idea and, who knows, it could be a great success.....at least they've got the gonads to give something a go. Will I be purchasing, no I won't but there's one hell of a lot of carpers nowadays so they do have a market to go at.

A 200% price increase in a product and you can't see what the point is....

Not really, considering a supermarket will charge you a difference of about 800% for the example I gave
