Cutting edge computer animation to advertise… the general concept of canned food? I sometimes I forget how much stuff has changed since I was a kid.

I know, but seriously, it was weird even then. Canned food was developed during the Napoleonic Wars for the French to feed their army in the field, not some recent invention.

Would anyone with a NASA-background care to comment on the viability of sending cans into space?
Unless the metal is getting recycled or re-purposed, seems a heavy packaging to uses. Could a Mylar bag do the job? And what about the wasted volume when shipping a round can?

…And the food bubble over the robot’s genital region goes from phallic image to round buttocks image twice… From corn to peach to extremely phallic asparagus to tomato…

Frozen food and microwaveable convenience meals were widely seen as the future. Canned food was fiddly and old-fashioned - clearly it needed shiny robot help.
