Dude swims in his ball pit full of 30,000 beer cans

Simple pleasures.
By  on 

As far as simple pleasures go, leaping into a ball pit ranks pretty highly.

While buying a couple of hundred balls might be out of reach for some, one mystery Australian man has opted for an everyday item: The beer can.

Apparently 30,000 of them, as per a YouTube video uploaded by Tammy Penhall in early February, showing a backyard shed filled with empty cans of Victoria Bitter beer. It's glorious.

"Some guy actually commented that it would be their dream ball pit. Well, this is your dream beer pit, guys," Penhall said.

The beer can pit is located in Moonta, South Australia, and is the result of 15 years of quite clearly arduous collecting.

Look, we never knew we wanted to swim in a pit full of empty beer cans until now either.
