EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1975, we see a young adult woman named Kath Richardson standing in front of shelves filled with an exciting new product at a Stockton supermarket. The product in question? Two dozen cans of nothing! This novel item is described as steam from Locomotion Number One, an intriguing concept indeed. The packaging of these cans is attractively designed, drawing customers' attention with its whimsical nature. Priced at just 40p, it seems that many customers couldn't resist the temptation to purchase this peculiar novelty item. However, each tin carries a warning label stating that if opened, the can will be empty - truly living up to its name. Kath Richardson's expression in the photograph perfectly captures the amusement and disbelief shared by most customers on that memorable day. With her raised eyebrows and infectious smile, she exclaims "It's crazy!". Indeed, this unique offering proves that there's one born every minute when it comes to humor and novelty items. Transporting us back to the 1970s railway era, this image not only showcases the creativity behind marketing strategies but also highlights people's fascination with trains during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly ordinary supermarkets can surprise us with their innovative products. This print from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone era and our enduring love for quirky novelties – proving once again that laughter knows no bounds throughout history.
