Tuna in the year 2007


Does anyone else think it is odd that my can of tuna fish doesn't expect to "go bad" until my son's 10th birthday? I'm almost tempted to keep it and open it on that day as a special treat. Sort of a time capsule, if you will. Who knows what the state of the oceans will be in 3 1/2 years? Who knows what conservation laws will be passed perhaps outlawing tuna fishing or somesuch. Maybe by then aluminum cans will be replaced with some miracle canning material of the future, polyester sacks or organic meat bags made of sheep bladders.
Of course, I can't keep it. I've already eaten it, are you kidding? When you have the magic combination of tuna, miracle whip, sweet relish and hard boiled eggs in the house who waxes poetic about the future? I had just enough presence of mind to get the camera out for this shot.

That's really cool. You have to wonder about that though. I like your idea of opening it on your son's birthday.
