SNAKE NUT CAN



SNAKE NUT CAN

Our Snake Nut Can is a practical joke device that closely resembles a can of nuts, even rattling when shaken, but contains a long spring snake which leaps out of the can and startles the unsuspecting victim.

It was invented by Samuel Sorenson Adams of the S.S. Adams Co. circa 1915. Adams' wife Emily had been complaining about the jam jar, saying that it wasn't properly closed or that it was sticky. Adams, inspired by her nagging, then invented the spring snake, and compressed the two-foot snake into a little jam jar so that it would jump out when the lid was removed.

This quickly evolved into the Snake Nut Can, which became a perennial best seller. Tin City Magic has the Snake Nut Can in stock, complete with the metal can and spring snake, ready for you to set out during the holidays and have some fun!
