Eat or Toss?

Everyone seems to wonder about this here on CP so I found this article:

I thought this thread was going to be about something completely different.

That article makes me think of my childhood. My Grandpa worked for a York Foods canning plant when I was a kid, and every now and then the labeller equipment would malfunction and they would end up with a whole lot of canned foods that had no labels that they couldn't sell. 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.

I've never heard of that, and I wish I had. That's a wicked idea.

back to the original question, I thought I was going to see salad in there somewhere.

A group of gals did that to the room next to me in university. They took it one step further. They put numbers on each can and make a master key. If the guys wanted to know what was in teh can, they would need to go over and beg ask nicely.
