Why spend $1.59 on a can of Campbell's soup when you can get one for free on Craigslist? Someone in Brooklyn is offering up this Andy Warhol muse for the bargain price of zero dollars, and they'll even meet you in a convenient location for the exchange. They write:
"It’s a classic, it may even be considered vintage, I mean Andy Warhol was a huge fan and look where it got him. Here we have this formerly delicious can of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup just for you. Now I’m not offering it to you as just a can of soup but more as a paperweight or a bookend because as I discovered it is actually now considered vintage, because this particular can of soup was born in 1997... I think it might make a lovely addition to your bookshelf but I highly recommend that you probably don’t eat it."
Doesn't really seem like the can's design has changed much since 1997 though. Wonder where the Andy Warhol Foundation stands on all of this... [via Brokelyn]
