Default Make LARGE pop-top gift cans!

I just noticed that LaChoy Chow mein noodles come is a great can for making a canned gift. The "can" is actually cardboard and the label comes off easily. The top has a pull-ring, while you could easily use a Kunh Rikon (or similar) can opener to ope them on the bottom. Need a use for the noodles? Kid's snacks, salad topper, bird-nest cookies, chow mein!

I used a Yuban coffee can...They have those new pop type tops on them and with the safe can opener, you can remove the bottom and stuff your little heart out!

Oh, by the way, toss those chow mein noodles into you Chex Mix too...
