The days of swollen cans are mostly over. The new plastic liners don't allow dents to compromise the contents.

That's something that's gone the way of things like don't pour hot water on a frozen windshield.

Good advice in the '50s, but meaningless today.

Well you are trying to convince the wrong guy me and the local Smith’s store had words over a can of bean with bacon soup. Let’s just say picture bean with bacon soup mixed with drier lent. ;-(

Yes you are mostly right J, but it only takes that one can....

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

I still get swollen cans, I have one right now, a can of Bumble Bee tuna of a batch I purchased in 2004.

Months ago it was a can of Ro-tel tomatoes that swelled on me, I get them occasionally.
