Well, some of them got burned...
We thought we were really grown up then; how little we knew.

I can cook fresh spinach that will make you beg for more. Canned stuff isn't so good, and most Americans don't know how to cook spinach correctly. Most of the time, I eat it as salad, without any cooking.

I ran across a swollen can at Walmart a few months ago. Looked like it was ready to blow.

Story about the general officer that retired a few years ago shared his 60’s era Vietnam issued pound cake and peaches with his staff at his 2010 retirement ceremony 50 plus years later ..... They all were surprised it was great !
I store can goods on a rotational FIFO set of racks in a cool dark root cellar style storage room. Each can gets a sharpie pen DTG marked on it or a computer printed lable I make stuck on it. Oldest can goods in the rack are ranch style beans and they were 5 years old as oldest product I had on hand.
They are still good.
Soups, stews and chili, peanut butter, honey, canned juices and sauces add to,the dry storage of pintos, rice, cornmeal , and spices etc....
75% of our “pantry” is canned goods and the rest are dry goods and freeze dred . If power goes then first few weeks is beef, chicken, pork, fish and wild game harvested. Jerky manufacturing Inc per se as the freezers thaw that portion of food stores.
Agree on the C-rats. Shy of Lima beans and ham of course...:o)
Stay safe

When the SHTF I for one am not going to worry about partially hydrogenated oils in my peanut butter or trace amounts of mercury in the canned tuna.
I’ll buy what’s cheap and stack it deep. When I need it I’ll thank God for it.

To me it reminds me of the stuff I get when I use to wash out my lawnmower and I imagine to me they would taste about the same, but J I bet you could even make lawn clippings taste like ambrosia! ;-)

We call it micro-greens, select the correct ones, and charge a premium price for it. ;)

Very bad day. I can speak with the volume to be heard across a drill pad without raising my voice.

Some of the survival food companies' cans have expiration dates reading "JAN 2046", give or take a couple years if stored properly so we're looking at LEAST 3 decades on some of the brands such as 'Daily Bread' or 'Mountain House' where the oxygen is removed from the food for long term storage.
To: JRandomFreeper
It wouldn’t surprise me if they stuck it back on the shelf after I left. I think it is so rare to find one that the stockers these days don’t even realize something is wrong with it.

If you have a bug-out bag, I’d recommend sticking a jar of peanut butter in it. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, doesn’t weigh too much, but is packed full of vitamins, calories, and fats that will be essential in the event of an unplanned (but hopefully prepared for) cross-country excursion.

Not gonna happen.
The US doesn’t have a large enough army to cover 300 million people who would suddenly get a bit pissy over someone messing with their food.
It’ll start on one block and end terribly on the next...with extreme prejudice.
Fictional writing.
