From The Onion's annual Cheap Toy Round-Up:
Delicious Can ($.33)
The ol' snake-in-the-can is part of a grand tradition of humor - they say
laughter is born of surprise, and when you're expecting salted nuts and are instead greeted by a popping spring-snake, you can't help but guffaw. (If you're, y'know, 60-plus.)
But there's something very, very special about "Delicious Can," a Chinese version of the trick that doesn't exactly get the concept. The outside is decorated with the words "Special Fresh"! and photos of various fruits - none of which would easily fit inside a two-ounce can, nor probably come with a pink lid.
But the real joy is inside: In length and girth, the fake snake is, umm, penis-sized and shaped. And the head is pink plastic. And it features a sort-of smiling face. And while the can is open, the snake remains firmly upright.
