Have come up (albeit in the pub, just to set your expectations early) with a wonderful new sport.

Equip a standard rifle with a high powered bar code reader and proceed to fire said gun at as many stripy animals as you can within a period of 12 hours. Stripes will be read into the gun and decoded to the appropriate Tescos product. Winner will be the one with the highest amount on the till roll.

Now obviously certain animals will have to have a multiplier factor which is comparable to the ease or difficulty of shooting and the amount of said animals likely to be in one place. Zebras have a low handicap score as they are generally in herds and not particularly aggresive. Tiger sharks have a high muliplier as they're bloody dangerous and generally alone.

So far I can think of zebras, badgers, tigers, tiger sharks and ring tailed lemurs as being possible scanning targets. There must be more.
