Tyson Fury launches trash talking bins for people to put their chewing gum in

Tyson Fury is installing doppelganger trash talking bins across the UK in the hope of knocking out chewing gum litter.

The bins have been designed as an exact replica of his head, with recording of the Gypsy King himself warning people to put their gum in his head instead of littering. The boxer himself visited his hometown Morecambe to join his bin replicas in shouting at litterers.

His voice rang out, from both him and his replica, calling out litterers for being ‘tossers’ and ‘dossers’, urging them to pick up their gum and put it where it belongs – in the bin, or in this case, his head.

People were stopped in their tracks when they heard voices growling at them to use a bin, soon to discover the local hero had been transformed into a trash-talking bin, leaving many shocked, scared and surprised that they had Tyson to answer to.

The Trash-Talking Bin bellows out phrases such as “Don't be a Dosser. Put your gum in the bin”, “Things are gonna get sticky for you, if you don’t bin that gum” and “Get that in the bin or I’ll give you something to chew over” all recorded by Tyson Fury.

The bin saw as many as 225 bits of chewing gum dropped in over the course of one day and with 87% of England’s streets stained with gum it shows that the public need a little fighting talk to get them to withhold sticking their gum anywhere other than a bin. The bins were rolled out to launch Fury's new FUROCITY Peppermint Energy Gum responsibly, which is available to purchase at Iceland.

Tyson Fury, said: “I've already changed the energy drink game and I'm going to do the same with energy gum and destroy the competition. But people just need to stop being dossers and spitting their gum on the ground, you can’t walk anywhere without passing some on the street. That’s why my head was there for them to lob it in instead.”
