Two Soylent Green cans from the promotion of Richard Fleischer's sci-fi classic Soylent Green. Cans of the Soylent Corporation's "miracle food" appeared in various marketing materials, including the iconic poster featuring Frank Thorn (Charlton Heston) holding one.

This pair of metal cans features plastic lids, ring pull tops, and production-made paper " Soylent Green!" labels advertising the "miracle food of high energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world." The MGM copyright is printed on the side of each label. The cans exhibit rusting, peeling to their labels, and spotted stains from exposure. Dimensions (each): 3" x 3" x 5.5" (7.75cm x 7.75 cm x 14 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 1,500
