      Literally never have understood why a type of container makes something gross to some people.,.

      Same thing with color of something. I mean, I at least get that in terms of color X is associated with Y… Just seems strange to me.

      Pudding in cans was the best, it just tasted better. Juice in glass containers was also amazing. Plastic changes the taste and leaches microplastics into our bodies.

      I’m really hoping we as a society get plastic out of our products.

        While I 100% agree with you on the glass, and a can doesn’t change the flavour as much as plastic..

        Small cans have this smell (I guess skin oils reacting with the outside metal?) that you can’t ignore when you eat right out of the can

        I got so heated watching one of the congressional hearings where I girl asked Congress to ban single use plastics.

        The politician was so condescending and finished off with “we need a solution before banning”.

        America had the solution before plastic… Cans and bottles.

    In the UK Ambrosia still does rice pudding and custard in a can, I think Heinz do some tinned puddings too? The cakey kind though rather than creamy stuff, mind… In case anyone really must lol

    They used to roam free on the farms until industrial food factories took over.

    I misread that typeface, “a hit” really tried to be “shit” and it went from mildly interesting to meme material really quick. The s in always might have played a part

    As a UK resident, I only know about these because Bill and Ted used some to repair the phone booth time machine.

    If you’re old enough to have cut your tongue on the inside of one of those cans your back and knees hurt.

        Good luck! I’ve had back issues in the past and it’s the worst pain I’ve felt. The only advice I can give is to do the exercises they tell you to do. They actually help!

    Years ago, after a family camping trip, we stopped at a café for Lunch on our way home. My father, my Brother and I all saw Sticky Date Pudding on the menu and decided to order it as desert.

    It was the most amazing Sticky Date Pudding we had ever had, it was the right balance of moist and dry, the caramel sauce was just the right balance of sweet, salt and tart without being decadent and the date was just the right consistency, not rubbery but with just the right consistency.

    We asked the waiter about it and they told the chef. The chef came out to give us the recipe and pulled out a Tinned Pudding. All he had done was cracked the tin, poured it out and put a scoop of vanilla gelato on the side.

      Tbf Del Monte distributes all sorts of fruit/veggie related stuff, at least nowadays (In the United States). Used to go nuts for their peach cups when I was a kid lol
