I mean, the pantries ask for canned goods, because they're shelf stable, portable, safe.

Not sure where you think this is anything like used needles.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
