      Tune in next week and find out if they are all still in the show. (Seriously though they are all alive and well... When I say ‘well’, I mean no worse off than they were before they started. They all clearly have something going on to eat this one in the first place!)

      @sshep86 5 років тому +4

      If it's heated/cooked, canned and sealed properly, there is no way for bacteria to survive in the can. So technically, if the can is in good nick, so is the food.

    • @sshep86
      @sshep86 4 роки тому +1

      @kevin lawrence C.Botulism needs an entry point. If the can is in good nick, there is no way botulism can get inside. That’s why as a general rule you don’t eat food from dented or damaged cans because it could be compromised.
      If food is canned properly. The food is essentially preserved until the material that it is canned inside is compromised. Or the food was not pasteurised properly, but this is normally evident with either a bloated can or excessive gas escaping when you pierce it. In which case avoid eating.
      The basic principle of canning is that you preserve the food in a sterile environment. If the food remains sealed, it remains safe. Although, the condition of the food may change over time.

    • @sshep86
      @sshep86 4 роки тому +1

      @kevin lawrence Expiration dates are used in canned goods due to food safety standards and legislature. Typically canned goods are good to eat as long as they remain sealed. Obviously common sense would dictate to not eat extremely old canned food unless absolutely necessary.

  • @TopHatHat
    @TopHatHat 5 років тому

    Chill people, the cans are almost certainly reproduction, if old, and the “Mouldy” chocolate at the beginning is just coco butter you get.
    Lastly eating stuff out of cans gives you the runs and just tastes of can.

  • @Gundam944
    @Gundam944 5 років тому +1

    Ok so...a few things. First there is no way these are actually C-rations from the Vietnam war era. The cans are in WAY to good of condition.
    Second and more importantly, since Botulism is a very real thing, there's no way a TV show could be cleared to have people eat canned food that old.
