I love the can idea, but the idea that anyone would use that much canned, mushy, overly processed soup is scary.
Luved all of them ,..thanks for putting it all together,,
these are great...I've been working on a system of containers that would replace ordinary plastic food storage containers with a uniquely designed system of containers and racks, and I thought it would make sense to share it here. It's called "Stackerware", still in Development (OCt 2012) but I hope to make it available to the public soon. Check it out and let me know what you think?
