Tiffany & Co. wants you to spend $1,000 on a tin can and $9,000 on a ball of yarn.

If you thought Nordstrom’s $85 rock was offensive, just wait until you see Tiffany & Co.’s obscenely expensive "tin can."

The storied jewelry brand recently introduced this product to its Everyday Objects line, which "transforms utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art." It offers everything from a $250 bendy straw to $650 ping pong paddles to a $450 ruler. It’s incredibly ridiculous, and, quite honestly, just a way for rich people to simultaneously show off their wealth and irony. We can also talk about how the collection seems to make light of mindless consumerism and income inequality, but we’ll spare you and simply highlight the most absurd "Everyday Object": the $1,000 fake tin can.

Though this container looks like a label-less food can, it’s actually made of sterling silver coated in gold with a Tiffany blue enamel accent. In an attempt to make it seem not totally worthless, the brand also advertises it as a pencil holder. Because utility, duh. You can check it out above.

If you have a thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you can pick up the Tiffany "tin can" by heading here. And if you’re feeling really extra, make sure to check out this $1,500 coffee can. Oh, and, by the way, they are also selling a $9,000 ball of yarn made from sterling silver. But it's chill since you'll get "complimentary shipping and returns on your order."
