    Do you know the science behind why there’s no soda left in the cans after 15 years? I’d love to know!

      This is what I found:
      Look at the top of the can, which is just a thin shell that the walls are crimped around. That's the only seal other than the ringpull, over a long time span the carbonation can escape, a few molecules at a time. And with temperature changes water vapor inside the can will also escape.
      Coca Cola types drinks contain phosphoric acid, citric acid, and the carbonation is carbonic acid. These all attack metal, the walls and bottom of the metal containers are plastic lined to reduce the action of the acids on the metal, but it's not totally impervious.
      The only seals that are impervious to leaks are called hermetic seals, and these are not used for containers that contain beverages or most foods.

    My grandparents, Bob and Georgia Williams, ran this store for awhile in the 80s and 90s. I think it was originally a Piggly Wiggly then later Discount Foods. Anyway, I used to spend a week during the summer with them and have lots of memories of hanging around at the store.

    It had some of the best chili I’ve ever had. You could buy the chili by the brick. I grew up shopping there. I’d go in there around 9 or 10 years old and buy a package of BB’s and a can of Happy Days tobacco. Mom used to send us to the store on our bikes to get milk and things. One time I’ll never forget, I put the milk on my handle bar on the bike and it turned over and busted a gallon of milk right in front of the main door. Then I got a little older and mom let me drive her car up there before I had a license. It was back streets all the way and I never had to get out on the main road. But the road was much wider there by the nursery and you could do some killer doughnuts. LOL I’m sorry momma, I don’t do that stuff now. It’s sad to see it this way but time marches on. As well as it does for me. I’m 54 now.

      Opening somebody else’s mail is a crime! But I wonder if it would be different in this situation since it has been closed over 10 years.

    • @Scottwc427
      @Scottwc427 5 місяців тому

      Technically, isn't it trespassing when you enter abandoned buildings? It is not illegal to open mail found in the trash, but I'm not sure about abandoned buildings. I wouldn't open it on camera and wouldn't take it.😉@@AbandonedAtlasFoundation
