Doctors and smart asses, what will happen if I eat a 22 year old canned sardine?!


Question:

Doctors and smart asses, what will happen if I eat a 22 year old canned sardine?

I just bought a house and in the basement I found a slightly rusty can of sardines stamped 1985 on it. I was dared to eat one. Will it kill me?


Answers:
It might not kill you, but you probably will spend a great deal of time in the bathroom tonight/tommorow!

I do not know but before you do you should go to youtube and see the video of the guy who drank a 20+yr old beer and see his reaction.

You will be bowing to the throne soon after.

just plan on spending the night praying to the porciline gods and riding the prociline bus.

i dont know. nothing might happen, but.intestinal gas and/or food poisoning- which means you'll be good friends with the toilet.

have fun.

Canned food should be thrown out after 3 years, Canning does not keep food safe forever. If you eat this you could get severe food poisoning, and probably a little botulism, but if you will make a lot of money off this bet I would do it, just keep a telephone next to you so you can call 911 incase of misshaps. It would be a funny story and I mean you have to get your stomach pumped at least once in your life right?

I say go for it!!!! The runs never hurt anybody. It's got to be better then my wife's cooking, Sounds Delicious

I'd be afraid to eat it. I don't care who dared me or how "brave" I felt about taking the dare.

My concern is the age of the can of sardines and the extreme temperature changes that may have transpired over the last two decades. The can may have frozen and thawed numerous times; it may have been exposed to extremely hot temperatures, etc.

When you think how these factors may have affected the contents - especially fish - are you sure you want to chance it?

If the very least it causes is a bad case of diarrhea - do you really want to endure that?

I think I'd pass on the 22 year old sardines, thank you.

I love the way you directed your question to Doctors and smart asses :) It appears that you already know not to take that 22 year old plunge but guess what, it could make you RICH ~~or ~~ SICK, its really up to you smart *** :)

Please eat it, things are slow at the ER tonight.

Dont know but i wanna watch ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
