It looks like a normal can sitting on the kitchen shelf, but when the victim opens the top, two colorful 5’ coiled-spring snakes leap out!
— The snakes can be fitted into all kinds of containers.
— Valerie Pontbriand, owner of Four Eyes Joke Shop in Southbridge, Mass., likes to repackage and sell the snakes in a fishing creel. Other stores can devise their own special snake surprises for their customers.
— Snakes can be bought in cans that claim to be house mints, peanuts and mustard.
