FIFTY (50) batteries for ONE POUND!

We have a new winner in the who can get the most batteries for £1 competition! First of all it was Sam with 15, but then we remembered we'd actually got 24 last year.

We have both been BLOWN out of THE WATER with this. From a trusted and recognisable brand, too.

Pile up 10 for one AAA

"Couldn't help noticing the challenge on bargain batteries. Here's 50 small crap ones I also bought at Poundland, for a pound - that said if they fit my watch I've saved a fortune. How exciting" - MrJolly.

Six under my foreskin right now

How exciting? Literally VERY EXCITING indeed. Can anyone beat 50? Come on, it's only a quid. You can't begrudge spending a quid on an Idiot Toys update, can you?

I think there should be two new features - one in which users ignore the warnings and dispose batteries in fire (or ovecharge http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=lipo overcharge batteries), and another where they send photos of their scars.

I've already attempted to recharge alkaline non-rechargeables in a video somewhere on the internet. It worked.

It's the #2 Google result for "recharge non-rechargeable" if you want to see it and a few bits of my house.

What made MrJolly decide to photograph his winning entry on a toilet? Too bad he didn't show a bit of penis, for enhanced realism.

Batteries in Orifices would be a fun feature. I've got a 9v in my bumhole RIGHT NOW

Where does this end Idiot? Would stealing a truck load of batteries count? Since you would be getting thousands of batteries for free?

Maybe the Somalian pirates would win if the hijacked a container ship full of them, since they would get millions of batteries?

If there are any Somalian pirates reading this, make sure you take plenty of photos.

Thanks.

FACT: Rizla and Hyundai cut the right hand corners from their products because in their countries of origin there are very strict laws regarding dog-eared paper and this is their means of circumventing them altogether.

I think it deserves bonus points for being watch batteries. When I saw the title I imagined 50 AAs but instead we get this lovely rogue, niche, hard-to-find stuff.

Shame there were none that fit the Saturn. Oh wait, this isn't UKR...

First time I've seen Jollyboy described as a trusted and recognisable brand.

My parents have a pack of these, not sure if they're Hyundai though. NOT ONE of the batteries would fit my novelty musical Chairman Mao lighter though.

I think this should be discounted. Watch batteries just don't cut the mustard. They are so small, there are never pictures of anthromorphised battery-men on them, or pictures of panda, or even lightning bolts. You can't even fit badly translated safety instructions on them!

I will not count watch batteries, until I have seen some STUNNING watch battery photography.

And that will never happen, as they are too boring. Prove me wrong.

These batteries are splendid, I used a similar bargain assortment to run a laser pointer for nearly 25 seconds!

I bought some of those Hyundai ones from a pound shop, AA ones, and put them in my cordless mouse, and they leaked and killed it!

I saw these for 99p.
Does that count?
