    I can't bring myself to believe that some of these are real.

    Bonus points if you know which of these goods which have appeared on LTH before...I can see at least three (not counting the canned squid, which really isn't all that shocking, IMO.)

    Pretty sure those would be the canned hamburger, the silkworm pupae and the...canned rattlesnake?

    Maybe I'm crazy or found it elsewhere surfing, but I swear I saw the whole canned chicken here somewhere....

    The canned bacon has most certainly made an appearance.

    Yes, we've had canned bacon, and canned eggs...but not in the same container before! (Ewwww....)

    Hi,

    What I could never get over with the canned whole chicken was an intact head. It is likely the number one reason people may choose never to buy it again.

    Regards,

    But without the head, it's hardly a whole chicken, now, is it?

    I read that just the other day and it still makes me laugh. The best part was the article the ThinkGeek site links to that explains how the slogan "the other white meat" is being retired anyway. Slow day at the law-talking place.

    A few years ago, Gary Burbank, PM drive-time jock at Cincinnati's WLW 700AM used to run ads for South Dakota Canned Weasel, the OTHER white meat. A number of people started calling around South Dakota looking for a supplier.
