As I recall that wasn't a prop, the can was some sort of promotional item, or maybe a cast and crew gift or something?

Yes, that is correct. The real prop came in a large hopper and was scooped out into clear plastic bags.

The green wafers are made of wood. I have a screen used one around here somewhere. It was given to me by a prop man that worked on the film.

Yes, that is correct. The real prop came in a large hopper and was scooped out into clear plastic bags.
