Spring cleaning if taken.
Wonder if it is dehydrated, gets a tad hot.

Looks rusted through. Probably contains dust or a undiscernible lump. Don't cut your self opening it. Not worth it.

I'd throw it, and let it break open. Probably gonna be one heck of a stink when that thing opens up.

From the photo it looks like there are already holes in the can. Open it up. Be careful not to cut yourself.

If you can possibly see an image of Jesus or the Virgin of Guadalupe on the can , it will sell for big bucks on flea bay !

Take it to the customer returns window at Shop-Rite. Tell them it was purchased decades ago during their first CAN-CAN sale and that it belongs in their CAN-CAN Hall of Fame, all the while you are humming the CAN-CAN jingle. In addition, Let them know that you’re not too happy about the way the product has held up over time and that you would like an exchange or a full refund.

I was once stranded out in Dixie Valley east of Fallon, out of water and exhausted on a 95 degree day, and came across an unopened bottle of Miller MGD. It had some funky looking stuff floating in there but, Yep, I drank it! Probably the most I've ever enjoyed a bottle of beer. Was picked up by an old woman in a Jeep several hours later. I honestly feel like that beer saved my ass that day. And it didn't make me ill at all...
