    Found this today on Etsy.I'm not buying it,but it's def one of the weirder items i've come across this week.Not the best likeness of Elvis i've seen.
    'Christy's Gallon Oyster Tin Advertising Can from George A. Christy Crisfield Maryland Seafood-$525'
    PS-I'm sure some of you know how expensive vintage oyster cans can get,with or without Elvis.

    I still like the Canuck way of life-i'd take their healthcare in a New York minute (ketchup potato chips too).
    PS- IMHO,one of the UK's tastiest products-jalapeno & dark chocolate crisps.
