one of these days ashens is going to open a can and unleash some unspeakable plague upon the earth

32-Year-Old Chili 38-Year-Old Beer 40-Year-Old found dead from food poisoning

When I was a kid in the 80s who wouldve guessed that at some point cable tv would be slowly replaced by guys reading labels on decades old chili cans.

"the taste of rot" would actually be a great name for your autobiography.

That hiss from the can was actually the spirit of Davey Allison saying "DONT EAT THIS!"

my dad used to race professionally, so I asked if he knew anything about mr allison since I'd never heard of him before. my dad said he actually talked to him several times, and was surprised to hear he had his own brand of chili! he said he was a nice guy and took the time to come chat with the lower level racers even though he was quite literally out of their league. and then I got an entire lecture about mr allison's entire family, completely unprompted. don't know how to end this comment goodbye

Honestly impressed that the beer was still perfectly fizzy after nearly *40* years. Edit: Ah, it was rotting gas that made it still fizzy. Lovely....

It's an odd thought that Ashen is probably the first and only person to drink that particular beer since about 1980

Holy shit. We own that bowl, Ashens. My mother can confirm, she got it from a petrol station in the 80s.

For sale: Excellent condition brown fabric sofa. Barely used

Davey would be proud that in 2017 someone was licking his beans.

"Something not right amongst the spices" Its Botulism, and you are breathing it in. What a time to be alive

Am I the only one who really loved the "pure Alaska water" rant? Because it was amazing.

I'm a transplant recipient and I have to be really carefully about germs due to my suppressed immune system. It's a lot of fun to safely watch this guy play with stuff that would immediately kill me.

I appreciate this open-minded, respectful, comprehensive, and still lovingly befuddled take from someone not familiar with NASCAR but not posh or insulting about it, and an interesting intersection for me of things which I'm a fan of, that being auto racing, food, history, Star Wars and even Persona, oddly enough, altogether on this channel. And yes, I hope to take your advice about helicopters, being an aspiring race driver myself.

The hissing from the can is always a sign of all of the quality goodness packed inside

British food review: "Oh dear. Yes. Right... Oh dear. Yes. Right."

so Ashens, when are we getting your new book "Horribly Expired Food You've Probably Never Heard Of"?

So what have we learned today? Driving a car is very much different from piloting a helicopter!

Any canned food which bulges most likely contains salmonella and/or botulism which very well can be deadly. That's my PSA for the day! 😁

Ah, my Chili finally made it in a video. I think it was 30 years old when I sent it from VA, but I'm glad somebody got to have a delicious bean lick.

I clicked on a bean video and all I got was very sad stories of beloved people dying in helicopter crashes

"The tragedy of Dave Allison the Fast"

2021 update: IF YOU DO ANYTHING DO NOT RIDE A HELICOPTER!

"Oh shit, son!" Has to be my favorite line of the video. 😂😂😂

*Massive Undercurrent of Rot* makes for a good metal band name too.

“Not Right Among the Spices” A story about love, betrayal, and expired chili.

“Massive undercurrent of rot” also sounds like a good book title

"i think nascar is the thing where they drive really, really fast in really big circles, theres probably more to it" no thats basically it.

"ooooooh shit son!!! NOT ON THE COUCH!" Ashens 2017'

The red colour is gone, because it sacrificed itself to prevent oxidation of the rest of the food. (Because betacarotene and luteine as well as anthocyanins act as antioxidants)

Honestly the story of Davey Allison is an amazing but tragic story, especially with his passing He just never quit no matter how much punishment his body took, example being him fracturing his skull and popping several blood vessels in his eyes at Pocono from a violent wreck before showing up next race at Talladega and starting before being replaced after the first caution

Let's get this into a tray... Nice! Next week, Ashens reviews Botulism.

I was about to go to sleep for work tomorrow, but then I saw an Ashens video.....Wisely I chose to watch the Ashens video.

You should've poured the beer into the chili and see what bioweapon of mass destruction you could've made.

tldr: athletes should avoid helicopters

Rancid generally refers to the decomposition of fats. That happens even to most sterile foods given enough time (depending on their composition) but can also happen due to microbes. Rancid food may smell and taste terrible, but is probably safe. (well, don't base your diet on it) Color can be completely changed in foods this old. If a can is bulging or broken open, it might be ROTTEN. Rotten food can be deadly to eat, as many bacteria and fungus produce toxins. Botulism is the most well known. If you suspect food may be rotten, seriously do not eat it. Personally I doubt this one has botulism, I've seen examples of canned foods with botulism, and you would know when it was opened. I still would not eat it though. I am unaware of any rancid foods producing appreciable gases.

Whenever I am hungry but am too broke to get lunch I just watch an Ashens ancient food review and that clears it right up.

"Not right among the spices" Sounds like an interesting book about colonial India

"I have enjoyed my own special chilli recipe since I was a kid" - if he means he made that chilli while he was a child then i am deeply, deeply afraid.

It was made at bunker hill? Must be tinned lunch beans for the Brotherhood Of Steel

Nice Hiss.

This is a PSA for anyone who stumbles across this comment, never eat anything from an old can, unless it's dried. At least in America, until 1991, cans were sealed with lead. Unless the food was supposed to be dry, this means that lead has been leaching into the can for years. The lining of the can itself could possibly be leaching into the can as well, even if the can isn't damaged or rusted. By the time you open it, there could be absolutely lethal amounts of lead and other heavy metal contamination in the food. Source: One of my favorite youtubers buys and opens vintage food cans and frequently runs lead and heavy metals tests on the contents, and they are almost always completely off the charts with lead and iron content.

They're making a left turn! They're making a left turn! They're making a left turn!

"SHIT SON" my sides help me

Every time I hear Ashens go on a tremendous, sweary rant, my heart soars with joy.

I would say that chilli is not from 1985 since Davey's rookie year was 1987, probably between 90 and 93.

New tagline! ASHENS: "Imagine Some Piss"

Failed my 3rd exam at university. Ashens eating some old ass food is what I needed to cheer me up.Thanks Stu

it appears as though your can of chili has been pre-digested.

It's so wild that this video is the cited source on Davey Allison's Wikipedia page for the fact that he had his own brand of chili.

ashens is gonna "lick the bean"

Do you like a little Botulinum toxin & or mold with your Chili? In the words of Philip J Fry, "It's like a party in my mouth and everyone is throwing up."

from now on i'm calling my paper towels "paper kitchen roll stuff"

Whenever I walk past a dumpster I'm going to say "ew, do you smell that massive undercurrent of rot?"

One of these days Ashens will open a can of that toxin from Return of the Living Dead and doom us all.

you forgot to say "nice hiss" when you opened it..

I doubt this is 32 years old. That means it would've been 1985 when this chili was sold. The styling of the #28 on Davey's hat wasn't run until 1991. So more than likely this can originated sometime between 1991-93.

9:25 will forever be one of my favorite Ashens moments

I looked back to 85 all I saw was shrek starring me in the eye with a face of disappointment

+1 for repping Darth Plagueis memes.

"THE ONLY ONE BREWED WITH PURE ALASKA WATER YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT" I'm dead

My parents had bowls like that. The whole set. They always scared me ignoring best before dates but strangely it doesn’t scare me so much now with the stuff you get into

"I never saw this stuff when it was fresh." Anyone else uttering this phrase would elicit confusion. With Ashens, it's warm nostalgia.

"I'm gonna to take one for the team and down the hole bowl no I'm fucking not" XD

i love watching davey allisons smiling face, even though 2 inches above his face, hell is being revealed

"And they stopped in 1979, when they all went home and didn't have jobs anymore" that cracked me up

Your expletive filled rant was very Mark Corrigan, I laughed heartily!

I live an hour's drive away from Bedford, where the chili was made. It was available here in Richmond until around 1993 when Allison passed away. I remember my dad buying a whole case.

Talking about horrible helicopter accidents with multiple fatalities is a good way to start a comedy video about ancient canned chilli.

"Im going to take one for the team and down the whole bowl, No im fuuuuuuucking not" Lmao 😅

"Something not right amongst the spice"... which book in the Dune series was that?

My kitten has been a bit sick for a couple days. That literally looks like her poop.

hearing you threaten people over the beer and the Alaskan water is gold.

I'm tempted to set Ashens' "OH SHIT SON" as my notification sound now.

that canned chili had remarkably natural ingredients. canned food today has like 5 food ingredients and 103 random preservatives or chemicals.

I was screaming at my screen for you not to eat the chili. OMG My dad bought several cans of that when I was a kid and it was not that color when it was new. IIRC it tasted like every other canned chili... Bleh.

modified mood starch tastes like feels

Dabey's soul is finally free, as the last bean tin with his face on it was openend, the hiss was part of him freed from inside.

I'm genuinely surprised Ashens knows as much about various racing as he does.

If you heated that up, your microwave would probably vomit.

"OOOHH SHIT, SON" -Ashens 2017

Somebody needs to show Ashens Talladega Nights.

Chili-powered helicopter now.

I gotta say, usually these videos of people "Unboxing" shit hold no thrill for me. But there's something about this channel that makes for compulsive viewing. Ashens is a genuinely funny guy! - A rarity among the countless youtube fuckwits

The ONLY ONE brewed with PURE Alaskan water.

Cant belive i dident know Colin Mcrae died. Must have gone over my head in the drinking days. Used to play those rally games.

"imagine... some piss" absolutely beautiful. poetic even

I would love for you to tell us the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise.

I am a champion Motocross racer and you have taught me a life lesson. Never buy a helicopter under any circumstance edit: jesus fuck leave me alone i was 13 when i wrote this i had just won a junior championship and felt like showing it off goddamn

Another KZfaqr opening old food and going all in... ...NICE! Subscribed.

"US Dept. of Agriculture - Est. 859” Something's not right here.

Yes, I love it when he does food videos!

As a chemist, and a fan of chili, I can confirm that this is, in fact, not good.

The whole "Nascar fans are rednecks" thing was inspired by the fact that it's true.

That can would have been a collector's item (unopened of course)

Never fail to put a smile on my face Ashens. Needed now more than ever with my Dad passing away two weeks ago today. I just wanna say Thank You.

As far as I can tell that's what NASCAR seems to be. Also holy hell this one was a rollercoaster of emotions. There was tragic loss, crashes, and chili, all the way to ashens reactions when eating food.

you and that dude that eats old MREs are two of my favorite youtubers

From the USDA website: All containers of meat, poultry, and egg products must be labeled with a USDA mark of inspection and establishment (EST number), which is assigned to the plant where the product was produced. I learned something new today.
