Probably a trap set by Mysterio.

There may come a time when we’re desperate enough to try it.

Pff, doesn’t count if the can rusted and the seal was breached.
Someone fetch me a 25-year-old can of sugary kids’ pasta that has remained intact. And maybe a Capri Sun and a peanut butter sandwich to round out lunch. Skippy on Wonder Bread. I like it cut on the diagonal.

So… how did it taste?

I half expected this to be a Boing Boing Store post.

Why would you do that? It’s like opening an original Star Wars figurine, or driving a new car off the lot. You just lost its value.

Kim’s Convenience previously handled this topic, but not to this extreme.

OP:
emboldened by the lack of noxious fumes
BoingBoing:
this can of Chef Boyardee Spider-Man pasta from 1995 emitted “noxious fumes”

When I first saw the contents I thought it was Mitch McConnell’s soul…then I remembered he hasn’t got one.

You make it sound like there’s another way

Oh hell yeah, fancy cut like a panini. Sandwich in style!
That stuff was probably already pretty vile when it went into the tin in 1995.
But obviously this tin’s seal corroded away some time ago when its contents were reduced to 20% of their original volume? weight? (not specified in the original tweet, as if not using SI units wasn’t reprehensible enough on its own).
If a tin is bulging from internal pressure or is noticeable corroded (a little bit of flash rust that you can just wipe off should be okay) - don’t bother any further, just get rid of it.
