THE 'LIGHT BEER' PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR DECADES

An art exhibit in Shanghai questions consumer culture in a supermarket that sells food and drink packages with no contents.

(Thanks to funny man)

Autoplay.

Wash and sell your empty containers. You too could be an art entrepreneur. A variation on a con game, or Seinfeld summary?

The way things are going in the supermarkets these days, with shrinking containers and net weights, everything will be empty packages soon.

Push your shopping cart down an alley or two and stock up cheap.

Most of my in-laws worked at the production facility of a VERY large canning facility belonging to a company whose name began with an 'H' and ended with a 'z'. They got to buy TONS of unlabelled cans and apparently dinner time was a perpetual potluck. Also got 'em through A LOT of lean times.

Evidently this is perfect for people with no taste. Get it? It's empty so there's nothing to taste! I'm having a bad day so please forgive me.

The bad part about purchasing cans of nothing?

An hour later, you're hungry again.

Also, we sell water in containers, which is not functionally different from selling an empty container people can fill up at a sink.

nursecindy. I had a psychiatrist tell me once to cheer up, things could be worse. I cheered up and sure enough, things got worse. Solid medical advice there.
