So sometimes the workers at the plant got to take some home with them, on the understanding that there was no guarantee of what you were getting. So my grandpa would give us these boxes full of unlabeled cans and we would would obviously use the food, sometimes the cans were damaged and you'd open it up to find some truly nasty stuff in there. Generally, it was a mystery as to what you were getting, so you'd have to have a backup plan if you opened up a can thinking it was cherries, and it turned out to be beets, or green beens.

Fun times were had by all...
We took the labels off all the cans at my brother-in-law's place as a wedding prank. It happened to me as well. It's damn frustrating.
