Canned Food Information Council, 1985

"In the year 3000, food will come in amazing containers that save nutrients, freshness and time.

It will be food in cans.

The question isn't when canned foods began. It's when you discover them. Canned foods are convenient. Time-saving. Versatile. Healthy. And good. They go into everything from salsa to soufflés. And from baby peas to pineapple rings, they can be very impressive. Who says you have to be new to be very, very modern.

I mean, the information has aged well. The "sexy robot" certainly hasn't! Super interesting none the less. Thanks for sharing!

The sexy robot is clearly informed by the art work of the great and influential Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. Look up his sexy robots some time, to see what the ad was going for. Talent always ages well.
