The can of Crosse & Blackwell cream of shrimp soup was a movie prop used in the ma_and_pa movies, specifically Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm (1951, 80 mins.) and Ma and Pa Kettle on Vacation (1953, 76 mins.), that became a part of G. Amato's movie prop collection, bought with the assistance of and loaned to Gregg Turkington for use in the pepboys movie. Gregg noted that the can cost $500 to acquire.^[1] Following G. Amato's resignation from The Amato Group and placement in a retirement home, the movie was scrapped. The prop and several others remained in Gregg's possession until Tim Heidecker, then going by New Heidecker, demanded that Gregg return all of the movie props to G., who was now living in the Grand Terrace Manor.

As seen in the 11th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special, the can briefly returned back home to the original Universal Studios shooting location of Ma and Pa Kettle, which is now a Harry Potter themed area of the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, though Gregg did not leave the can there.

The prop appears to not have been made specifically for the movies, as Crosse & Blackwell is an actual brand and cream of shrimp soup was a product they sold at one point, and as such, the 7 decade old can contained actual soup inside. G. opened the can of soup and ate its contents on November 18, 2025, the same day he passed away. As such, Tim blames the long-expired can of soup for G.'s death. At G.'s funeral, his brother giorgio vowed to investigate who gave him access to “that poison”.
