What’s in this can? I have no idea.
The label has been gone so long, I’ve long forgotten what’s inside.
This little can has been a mysterious silvery tease for over two years and I decided for Pensieve’s Picture Puzzler’s inaugural post–in keeping with the Mystery Box photo that was the impetus for this monthly contest–I’d photograph it as an excuse to finally open it and see what’s inside.
Surprising to me is I LIKED these photographs–it never occurred to me that something so benign could be aesthetically pleasing to the eye
(at least to me, anyway).
The first correct guess wins a $25 Visa Check Card to be used to buy a few groceries for yourself. The most imaginative guess wins, too…but I’ll have to think on that one.
Answer and winners will be posted on Friday. Be sure to follow the Puzzler link for details. You don’t wanna be disqualified ;).
Even if your first guess has been taken, remember points are given for creativity. And "points" equals some sort of whiz-bang prize in my book…make me smile. Better yet, make me laugh…;).

wordless wednesday
I’m guessing pears;)) Cool idea!
A number of exotic choices come to mind:
Turtle soup
Fried eels
Octupus
Re-refried beans
Pickled tortillas
Peanut butter and Ritz cracker consomme
I clearly need a hobby!
Hope you’re having a lovely WW so far, my friend. I’ve posted a special game-themed photo today. Coincidentally, it’s also shiny-metallic.
My son does that to my cans. I used to find them before the label was totaly destroyed and write on the can in permanant marker. LOL!
I am going to guess Corn!
This is FUN!
My gosh some people are fast. My first thoughts were pears or refried beans and those are already taken. Hmmm. Lemme think. Let’s go with:
1. Peaches
2. Chili
3. Quail Eggs (my creative guess)
Please check out my WW post.
Oh, I was going to guess corn. Can I still? I’ll guess again just in case. Hmmmm….I’ll say canned tomatoes. Or maybe it’s worms. (Like “I didn’t mean to open up a can of worms.”)
And, I agree that photos of mundane things can turn out just beautiful.
Not guessing, but I love the texture of the “naked” can.
creamed corn. because who eats that? you wouldn’t have cared that the label went missing and you thought to yourself, let it go, I’ll never eat it.
I’m thinking green beans – of the Jolly Green Giant variety. 😀
Hmm, in the first shot it looks ever so slightly bulgy. Not a good sign if that’s true.
Anyway, I’ll guess sweet potatoes/yams.
Plutonium.
(Use caution when opening.)
I guess Cream of Mushroom soup.
canned carrots???
I’m guessing peas. give peas a chance! (no, couldn’t resist…)
I’m guessing…beets. Not that I like beets…in fact, I don’t. But still, it just looks like a beets can to me. 😉
This is a fun idea, seriously!
I remember in 5th grade, our teacher was getting married and she had a “can” shower during school with us, her students…we had to bring a can with the label off to give her!
So this brought back memories! 🙂
I’m guessing tineed pineapple.
I love the corrugated look of the tin.
What’s in the can
I do not know
But as for me
In the trash it would go
Just thinking bout it
Hurts my cranium
Who knows what’s there
It could be uranium
Just follow our rules
You know, “Recyle”
Someday that can
Might be a unicycle
P.S. I’ll try to get your nifty little side bar items up soon. (Nekked Lizard Lady is in that department.)
I am guessing it is a can of cranberry sauce both because it has those little rings and also because somehow I always have a can or two left after the holidays and by about July the labels are falling off.
Hmmm…I think I’d open it outside when the time comes…just in case! Have a great day!
I’m guessing Ravioli
Nice shot and great idea!My Wordless pic is up as well;-) Happy WW!
Heat.
cranberry sauce
I would say- fruit cocktail~
pork and beans?…
Hmm, maybe chicken noodle soup?
Either that or spaghetti-o’s… At least that’s all I can think of that hasn’t already been guessed.
I am going to guess tomato soup!
All the good guesses are taken !!
Just had to come and say “ahhhhh” – I just caught up on my Pensieve……….
Blessings ~
Coconut milk (my first few choices were taken!)
I am going to guess a cream of…muschroom, chicken, etc.
I was going to say a corn product of some kind but someone already got that!
I’d say water. There are thermos that look like that.
My post is here.
Have a happy WW!
Its hard to tell. Anyway, great shot, I like the first image.
I’m thinking I’m probably not the first to guess this, but I say it’s green beans!
Happy WW 🙂
chicken broth or canned peaches…
FUN IDEA!!
I’m guessing some kind of bean maybe kidney or chickpea they are the cans we always have in our cupboard as they never get opened!
I agree it does look cool in the photo, ncie and shiny
My first thought was taken(cranberry sauce)and I have no creative juices today.
When my girls were in grade school, they took all of the labels off of the cans in my pantry for a school fundraiser.
For the next month, we had “3 can dinners”. Some of them were gross, some were interesting and some were just plain funny.
Thanks for the memory. My guess? Veg-All.
There is only one possible thing it could be – Duh….
Canned Wild Rice – directly shipped from Canada.
I think it is a can of black olives…I think I have one in my cupboard from 3 Christmases ago. I don’t eat them, but my sister does, and I got in sooooo much trouble for forgetting to bring that can of olives… I think I got my button on my site, but you never know…I’m bloggularly challenged.
Diced Tomatoes or
“Beans”
Beans, Beans,
They’re good for your heart
The more you eat
The more you fart
The more you fart
The better you feel
So eat your beans
With every meal.
But seriously I am going for Frogs Legs. You thought you would try them, but then could not actually bring yourself to eat them.
Carrots. Specifically baby carrots. The expensive french kind that make you hold your pinkie out when you eat them.
A can of green beans. Perhaps Del Monte. 😀
I am going to go with pickled pigs feet! Can you imagine how GROSS that would be!!! Do they sale those in cans?
I’m guessing BEANS!
I’ll go with what was in MY mystery can last month – Libby’s Pumpkin Pie filling. I’ll guess two more things though just to be safe: Cranberry sauce or peas.
Cream of Chicken Soup.
Not very imaginative. I know. And I’m sorry.
Whoop’ Ass
I’ll guess Pumpkin 🙂
Good Lawdy woman, I hope it’s not these.
laughter
No idea, something borning like beans i bet
