Neat item Carlton!
That reminds me of how we got the baseball term "can of corn". Customers used to go to the grocery store and ask the store owner for each item they wished to purchase as they made their way around the store. The canned goods were stacked behind the counter and the owner would take a pole and tap the cans off the upper shelves and catch them prior to putting them in the customers basket. The process of easily catching these cans as they fell ultimately led to the baseball phrase "can of corn" for catching a lazy fly ball.
