Why shouldn't you ever eat anything out of a dented can?

P.S. I'm way out of practice at post whoring. No time recently. I'm feeling a bit uncurrent.



Maybe you should do a tandem post til you get comfortable on your own.

AFAIK (from high school science class a long time ago) Tin cans were actually mostly steel with tin plating to prevent corrosion.

Denting risked exposing the iron to the food and Fe3+ ions are poisonous.

Basically don't eat rust, if you're worried wash the can & check if inside isn't corroded before you eat.

Modern cans are mostly aluminum (with maybe a steel & tin lid). It shoud be OK if you think it's still sealed but it's your health and your call.

Actually, that's the point. :) Next time a friend gets married (or just for the hell of it...) go to their pantry and remove (re-arranging is optional) all the labels from the can goods. Additional fun can be had augmenting their pantry with additional cans (labels removed of course) of your favorite cuisine. You could optionally stock them up with the nastiest tasting tidbits you can find, and oriential groceries are a pretty good place to start. Similiar fun can be had with wrapped freezer goods (1/2 lbs blocks of ground up catfish wrapped in freezer paper, for example). ;)

Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...
