Popcorn Tin
January 26th, 2009 by John Wolfe
This Halloween tin came with a three-pack of popcorn, cheese popcorn and caramel corn. Twelve years after buying it, the caramel variety is still inside! I got rid of the other two varieties, but the caramel corn is completely stuck and refuses to come out without doing damage to the canister. The tin now rests comfortably on top of my kitchen cabinets with all its caramel-y goodness sealed inside, forever.

You might try hot water to get the caramel out. Let it sit for a few minutes before teasing out the edges. Just dry the tin really thoroughly once the job is done, or it may rust!
Great tin!

That’s a great idea. Once I realized it was stuck and there wasn’t any mold growing in it, I just put the lid back on and forgot about it. It’s like stone in there now.
Thanks, ShellHawk, I’ll have to try that. Glad you like the tin.
