Intended to be the logical follow-up to the popular can of fish (tuna, salmon, etc.), it has the distinction of being the worst new food invention of the 20th century.

"Tuna ... Salmon ... See there it is! I told you they still had a couple of cans of worms on the shelf!!"
"Damn, why is it so dusty and rusted?"

All That and a Can of Worms

1) The opposite version of 90's slang term “All that and a bag of chips”, which means “good, plus extra!”
2) To mean that a person is "all that (they're said to be)" and worse. Someone that, once given an opportunity, is likely to become more controversial and problematic than they already are or are believed to be.

3) An individual that, when opening his or her mouth, is like Pandora's proverbial and mythical box as they get into situations that get out of hand or become hard to control.

The American people thought that Donald Trump was 'all that and a can of worms' even from the fateful moment he announced his candidacy for president.
