Rarely, if ever, do thoughts like these run thru your mind when choosing which camera to shoot your photos with:
I should use the Pepsi, no wait, the Coke! Ah who am I kidding, I take much better pictures with the French Fries!
They could if you owned any of these food cameras. We’ve found some of our favorites and have listed them here:
1. Sodapop Cameras
Made especially for your inner spy. These 35mm Cameras with a fixed focus 28mm lens were once made by a Chinese company called Ginfax. You can still find some online for a little as $5 but they’re getting more scarce.
2. The ‘Topico Fresh’ French Fry Camera
Also made by Ginfax (who had some strange fascination with food stuff cameras) and also 35mm with 28mm lens. This is by far, the definitive french fry camera. McDonald’s also put one out a while ago but it doesn’t compare to the Topico Fresh! These bad boys are hard to come by, so if you get your hands on one, hold tight!
3. The Charlie The Tuna Camera
In 1971 a photographic legend was born, that legend being a tuna fish mascot camera. Charlie was all over the T.V. and newspapers back in those days (“Sorry, Charlie!”), he was even as popular as Morris The Cat, but Morris never got a camera! This plastic tuna was manufactured by Whitehouse Products. He takes 126 cartridge film even and accepts flashcubes on top of his head. If you’re lucky, you can find him online for $70-80.
So, the next time you go out to shoot so photos maybe you should put down the Kodak or Nixon and pick up a soda, or a tuna fish, or maybe even some french fries.
