You kind of wonder how many folks are going to catch details like this in the movie.
Very fun!

Hey , how did you do the lable for the can? Print it from computer? I need a little one for a 2 inch high soda can, to change the lable. I like the sandwich too!

You are marvellous!

I just used the Pages program on my Mac, got the toxic waste logo from the net and used Campbell's soup as my model (product association is a key element of effective logo design). I made a few in different sizes, printed them out and checked to see which one best fit the can, then made any minor adjustments to make it fit properly. After that, I threw it on a memory stick, went down to the local indie copy place (always use local small business over national big business!) and printed a half dozen of them in colour on slightly glossy paper, took them home, cut them out and slapped them on the empty cans. Looks like the real deal.
For the beans themselves, I used 3D fabric paint, dribbled it down the side, glued a few dried pinto beans in place, painted them and bing, bang, boom -- a sloppy-looking mostly empty can of 1950s era Crumbum's Irradiated Baked Beans.

@ Rikka: Thank you. Can you write a letter to my wife stating as such? She's mad because I opened the cans and put the contents in the fridge. We now have a week's supply of string beans ready to go at a moment's notice. I thought I was helping. Kinda. OK, not really.

Ha ha ha . Your wife sounds like mine...I have our laundry, wall to wall with drying paper mache rock faces...that doesn't go down too well... and a while back we had scrambles egges for morning coffee break to use some of the eggs I cracked to get the perfect cracking egg shot...

Seems to be not too bad if both members of a marriage are a bit cracked (I'm into dolls, puppets, my husband's into films.) Doesn't do much for or visitors, I am afraid. Maybe worst was when we shaved our dog for the summer. (She is half Shi-Tzu, so there is an aweful amount of hair!). The Bathtub was pretty much covered. So he got the fake blood out "just to see what that looks like" (quite splattery...) an we took a few pics. Then the door bell rang (I didn_t have the time to clean up) and a friend came in. We had a nice evening- until he had to use the bathroom...
