You’ve seen ours. Now show us yours!

Our Shelf Life heroes are not long for this world. Global brands squish locals out of the market and tragically, many in our collection have already gone the way of the dinosaurs.  The frisky Swedish Bra milk, for example, has already been re-branded Natur. So we are creating an on-line gallery to document this endangered species before it’s too late. 

Now's your time to join the noble community of Shelf Life spotters. Send in a digital shot of Shelf Life finds from your travels and you could get them shown in the gallery. There's also a quarterly prize to be won for the best submissions (see How to submit).  We’ll also let you know when new finds are added if you subscribe to our mailing list.
