Tiffany & Co. is selling a $1,000 “tin can“. This “tin can” that looks exactly like a tin can that dog food, or peas comes in, is actually made of sterling silver because fuck you that’s why.
According to their website, “The Everyday Objects collection transforms utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art. A classic tin can is upgraded in sterling silver and shining vermeil.”
I don’t know why anyone would need to “upgrade” literal garbage, but here we are.
The $1,000 tin can is sterling silver and vermeil with Tiffany Blue® enamel accent, it’s 4.5″ high, and is “instantly recognizable, the signature Tiffany Blue® hue of this design’s enamel accent has been as iconic as the brand itself since its founding in 1837”. For an additional $25 you can get your initials engraved on it so people know who this $1,000 piece of garbage belongs to.
Ironically, the person who would order a $1,000 tin can probably has no idea how to open an actual tin can. If you gave them a can opener and a can of corn, they would probably starve before they figured out how to open it.
The $1,000 tin can not big enough or stupid enough for you? Tiffany & Co. also sells a $1500 coffee can and a $375 ice scream scoop. If you’re really feeling crazy, you can buy a $250 sterling silver straw, but it’s one of those bendy “crazy straws” that aren’t even good for snorting drugs, so it’s pretty much useless.
If you really need to throw away your money on garbage, please just buy Riot Fest tickets. They’ll be coming soon…
