A while back I put a bunch of old canned things down the sink. I have been
more careful since then to check expiration dates and not buy too many
extras. Anyway... Most of the stuff looked fine when I tossed it. I
didn't taste anything. There were several cans of beans, some soup and I
can't remember what all else. It was mostly the tomato or tomato containing
things that didn't look right.

We were just having a discussion on a couponing forum that the cans in this
country seem to get dented very easily of late. So there is some
difference. I just don't know what it is.
