You wouldn't BELIEVE, or maybe you would, what canned sodas do after about six years sitting in a cabinet. Despite its lack of carbonation the Hawaiian Punch is no better (although I admit it's older - Jan 1998, and have you ever seen Hawaiian Punch that is yellow?). It is very disturbing how many of those cans were empty. The cabinet shelving is in very bad shape.

Oh dear. Rob reports that he has found bricks of this stuff hissing. He is risking life and limb by carrying them with his bare hands to the sink. I am hiding at the far end of the living room.

Word to the wise: this is what happens when you give up sodas and start drinking more healthfully. Don't do it, people. Learn from my mistake. The sodas want REVENGE.

Wow! Those did last a long time! O'course, you had some failures too. For our cabinet, it took only a few failures to wreck the area.

Glass bottles in particular *really* last. I should ask Rob how old the glass bottles of Coke in his parents' basement are. They're pre-"New Coke".

Our Hawaiian Punch cans had bowed outward and were under quite a bit of pressure. It is clear they had fermented. They were only eight years old, but they did have sugars in them. Oops.
