Tiffany Tin Can

If you have $1000 to spare, you can buy a tin can from Tiffany. As far as tin cans go, it's a very nice one. It's made with "Sterling silver and vermeil with Tiffany Blue enamel accent." But at the end of the day, it's still a tin can.

They also offer a $1500 coffee can.

Come on, that's bad faith. It's not a tin can. It's a gilded silver can, you said it yourself. It's a better buy than the coffee can, which isn't gilded or anything.

No, they call it a "tin can." Tiffany is allowing their customers the chance no to be too far removed from the hoi polloi (mingling with the masses can be exhilarating but you don’t want to get carried away).

To paraphrase Robin Williams -
“A Tiffany Tin Can is God's way of telling you you are making too much money.”

Anyone who buys this doesn't deserve to have money.
