tin cans
Soup shelf staples
Tin cans are metal containers for preserving food, sealed airtight to prevent spoilage.
Despite the name, most are made primarily of steel with a thin tin coating.
The term extends to any cheap or flimsy metal container.
In naval slang, a tin can is a destroyer—a small, lightly armored warship: He served on a tin can in the Pacific.
