If you had to live off food from tins for a month, what would you have?
Could you do this for a month?

Sure. Canned soup, canned peaches, canned veg, sardines, chef boyardee pasta, vienna sausages...ooh, do cans of soda count?

Bet I could do it for a month. Naturally I'd miss certain things---------nothing in a can is as good as the fresh equivalent. Plus there's no such thing as onions or garlic in a can (in a jar? Sure. Not in a can), or good cheese in a can (spray cheese is not good cheese).

Soups, fruits, veggies, beans, sausages, corned beef hash,...it can definitely be done. It would just suck.

It's pretty easy, though often not the healthiest option. Canned chicken is something I eat a lot.

Only thing I actually eat from a tin is tuna. Most of the things pictured there would be fine for a month, though. I would miss peanut butter, and I don't know if there is such a thing as canned snacks. I eat something smaller every couple hours rather than a lot all at once.

^I don't know. Do those squat little canisters of Planter's nuts count as cans? How about Pringles?

I could definitely get by off canned goods. You know I really do enjoy canned peaches. Every part of it. Even the syrupy goo that it is stored in. I think if the world ever ends i will begin hording scores of canned peaches. I also enjoy the corned beef hash, Progresso soups, and bushes baked beans. I could go to hell just give me my can of beans to heat up while I'm down there. Hollywood hobo life.
