Are you ready to party? Because as this retro Labor Day ad suggests, Swift’s Premium Canned Hamburgers sure are!
Welcome Labor Day, our yearly national tribute to the contributions the work force has made to the strength and prosperity of our nation. Why not celebrate by eschewing any extra tedium, like say, oh, buying fresh ground beef and shaping it by hand into patty form?
After all, these burgers are “all-beef, ready-cooked, ‘party style'” — so your Labor Day will be labor-free. Since “all their goodness is captured and held right in the can” (against its will?) – you can be sure that “you never tasted anything like ‘em.” And you know what? I’d wager you haven’t.

FUN FACT #1: The pre-canning preservation process was initiated by Napoleon Bonaparte, who offered a prize to anyone who could successfully preserve food for soldiers during the late 18th century. Nicolas Appert, who had experimented with preservation despite his lack of formal education, came up with a solution. It involved glass bottles, which were heated, corked, and sealed. This became the precursor to the canning process that we use today. Appert is known as the “Father of Canning.” (Source: Encyclopedia.com)
