Man Successfully Flies A Solo Can Of Beer From Melbourne To Perth

An Australian man has reached peak lad by checking in a can of lager for a recent flight from Melbourne to Perth.

Dean Stinson checked onto his Qantas flight handing over a single can of Emu Export lager.

Miraculously, the can arrived unscathed. (If probably a little explosive on opening.)

Stinson told AFP news agency he was pleased the can arrived at its destination.

“And it was in perfect condition,” he said.

A spokesperson for Qantas seemed quite unimpressed by the stunt.

“It did happen,” they told The New York Times. “Someone’s checked something in. To be honest, we don’t want to encourage people to do this.”

They added: “He’s won the internet for the day. We’re quite happy to move on.”

What a guy.
