Here's a brain teaser for you all

[Alittleacorn]

Let's say there's some canned food, no air inside and it's never been opened. If you left that for a 100 years would you still be able to eat it?

I'm asking because somebody claimed that on some steak still in it's can after nearly 60 years. Made me curious if something like that can really be true o_O;

[Novacain]

I believe it, though mystery contents may taste a little stale.

The real question is, would you want to eat it?

[Alittleacorn]

Depends, what if you had no choice but to eat it? o.o

[JK2946]

You'd be screwed if it had botulism lmao

[Alittleacorn]

What are botuilisms? o.o A fruit?

[the 鉄腕アトム fan]

if it was in a can for 100 years i wouldn't eat it

Botulism is an illness caused by eating the botulinum toxin, it can be lethal. And because it is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is anaerobic (which means that it deosn't require oxygen to thrive), I would think twice before eating your 60-years old meat

Here are some revoltin' images of botulism (anything I can do to be helpful).


What if... the world was attacked by a group of inter-galactic psychopaths from outer space? They manage to consume 75% of the human population until finally, a giant meteorite slams into the earth, destroying the remaining resources, inter-galactic psychopaths, and leaving only a few thousand survivors standing on the town of Riot island. The residents of Riot Island were just about to start eating each other when they uncover a giant crate full of 100 year old canned ham and a bunch of well-aged whiskey.

Would you:

A. Drink the whiskey first, then eat your friends
B. Drink the whiskey first, then eat the canned ham
C. Eat your friends while sober
D. Eat the canned ham while sober
E. Curl up in a corner and cry yourself to death

[Gotta Love ASTRO BOY]

Ou thats a toughy uuummm E!

F. Knock my friends out on the head with the whiskey and roast them on an open fire >8D
