So tobacco is what the "Do you have Prince Albert in a can" prank phone call is referencing? I've heard that forever and never knew why it was funny… I knew it was a double meaning, but the only Prince Albert I knew about was, um… something else (that wouldn't go in a can).

- mcguire 10y agoAlso, Prince Albert and Middleton's Carter Hall are pretty decent, among the OTC/drug store/old codger blends. (Sir Walter Raleigh's texture reminds me of grape nuts, though.)
- mordechai9000 10y agoI found a gravel bar in Alaska where the river had deposited several battered, barely recognizable old Prince Albert cans. There was some other stuff, too, but nothing I could identify. A local told me that middens from miners in the 20s and 30s were eroding out of the riverbank upstream. Apparently they weren't considered to have any archaeological value, but it was interesting to poke around the old trash, anyway.
- fapjacks 10y agoI suppose technically, the PA we're thinking about could go in a can.
