This video shows how food from the 50s and 60s looks after time, the old cans have very high lead and iron levels, it looks pretty cool under the microscope but if anything was living inside it was long dead. Thanks for watching

Why am I so addicted to these videos?

That poor old can opener has seen pure evil!

This is the only channel I can binge watch without getting cravings for snacks.

Coconut is NOT supposed to look like tobacco.

Leave coconut in can for 70 years and you end up with coconut pipe tobacco

It’s like you’re making the world’s most disgusting cake.

MARRY ME! You're the only guy who has a chance to survive my cooking! I love your vids; you never fail to amaze me and make me laugh!

This is the weirdest casserole I’ve ever come across on a cooking channel, but I’m gonna give it a try! 👍

It’s crazy how much I enjoy watching someone open old cans of food lol it’s interesting to see what it looks like after all of these years.

I'm glad that we don't have smell-o-vision. lol

You popped up in my recommended and I gotta say, it’s weirdly interesting to see nasty, decades old food being opened. And also learning things like barcodes weren’t invented until the seventies 🤔

Now mix all of that together and you've just made prison food

You've got the makings for a Casserole of Death. You just need some ancient tater tots for the top. LOL. Love your videos!

I’m absolutely fascinated by the content that you provide. Hands down, this is my new favorite channel. Thank you! 🤓👏🏻

I live about 20 minutes away from Kankakee! I did some research, and the building where the coconut shreds were canned still exists! It's abandoned, and full of asbestos (as any other factory building from the '60s is), but it's still standing! There's actually a tour of it here on KZfaq from just a few years ago, it's titled "Old general Mills factory in Kankakee Illinois" by abandoned or cool. The title is incorrect, it was actually general "foods", as labeled on the can. It's mixed up with an actual general Mills factory on the other side of town, which is still in use. Anyways, I just wanted to share a bit of local history :) great video! Absolutely obsessed

Watched this for the first time on a 50 inch 4K TV. Holy crap, what a difference! Your camera is fantastic! And at some point you're going to need a hazmat suit!

This is what TV content would be like, during the zombie apocalypse 🧟

I love the tests you do in the end! Very interesting to see how bad the food has gone. A lot of people probably would think if it smells and tastes ok it's fine, but forget how much metals from the can that seeps into the food over time.

Im more concerned that he doesnt wear gloves when handling these 🤢🤢

Before watching I imagine the fish will smell like all hell

I just discovered these the other day and I'm hopelessly addicted. I love the close ups and narrative! These videos are getting me through my first bout of covid and isolation!

The fact that the 50 year old rotten milk smells like mac n cheese says all you need to know about mac n cheese.

These videos are awesome

I remember coconut flakes in cans in the 70s and early 80s as a kid. Was so much fresher tasting. I am not 100% sure if you can still buy cans of coconut

Also, when you dumped out the pea soup it looked like when Patrick dumped out the 10 day old seahorse milk.

The worst part is you stirring it around!!

You'd have to eat a whole bowl of paint chips to get as much lead as in one old,lead soldered can of evaporated milk.

The soup actually looks unscathed. For yellow peas, that's exactly the color you'd have if it were fresh. And I'm assuming it was condensed, so it would have come out in one glob just like Campbell's does today.

Under microscope everything looks like the asteroids, dust clouds, some small dwarf galaxies in the Universe. And that's amazing. Thanks!

I'm a huge fan of Habitant French Canadian pea soup! I haven't seen it since I moved from CT to AZ almost two years ago. I did find out that the Manchester, NH plant was closed in 1983 and production was shifted to Canada. Somewhere in the past, the company was purchased by Campbell's and the Toronto plant where it was made was closed last year. Too bad as my maternal grandmother was French Canadian used to make it but loved the Habitant brand.

‘Ok, that wasn’t so bad’, as the evaporated milk starts to fizz when the can is opened! 😂 Thanks for these amazing old can openings. It was interesting to see how the coconut changed color completely and the sturgeon still looked pretty good. Great job!

This year’s number 1 weight loss method! I’m definitely not hungry. Back in the 80’s there was a diet that included telling yourself gross things about food. For example pizza is a bloody puss filled scab, or spaghetti was bloody intestines.

I worked in a large supermarket in NJ in the 1980’s and even then, while most packages had barcodes on them, there were still many that did not. Also groceries still had price stickers on them well into the late 1980’s

You should dump the cans you open in a container on your patio to see what might grow after a while. You might might be surprised as to what might grow!! Love the way you open each can from the bottom so you can re sell it to collectors on the net. So smooth on your behalf.

Your voice is better than any ASMR I've heard...I could listen to you for hours - hence me binge watching you every night before bed 😁

Wheb you were lifting the can top with your fingers i was like "plz dont get a cut". Think about the bacteria in the wound

Nice touch with the testing

I’m needing to get some sleep but these videos are addicting. Keep up the good work!

"the bottom is still super shiny- soup" 🤣 idk why that made me laugh so much

I love how scientific you’re getting with these videos! It’s so fascinating! I love it!

In referring to the maximum contaminates allowed by the EPA you might want to point out that 1 milligram per liter (mg/L) is basically 1 part per million (ppm). I used to work for the Department of Public Health. I didn't have such easy ways for testing metals I had to do it the hard way; concentrated acid digestion and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Hey! what does your wife think about all the smelly food opening and collection of cans? : )

I really like you doing the testing strips! I hope to see more of it. Love your videos!

This was an excellent variety of old canned foods with spectacular graphics on the labels. I loved the elemental dipstick test; it really drives home the danger factor. Great work!

For a second there I thought you were opening and TASTING 55 year old canned food 🥺

Nice ! I really like the introduction of microscope and water sample tests ! Wish it could test for bacteria and other stuff as well :D

I liked the testing kit addition. Another cool thing would be to test for bacteria and pathogens if there's test kits for that. I bet most of that stuff is loaded with bad stuff.

Is that Cindy Brady on the asparagus can? LOL

Habitant still makes its good pea soup to this day.

Yayyyy! I absolutely love your videos! Keep doing opening cans videos because they're my favourite! I think they're so interesting and nostalgic , even though I was born wayyy after these were made! 😆😆😃

Think this is now my favorite KZfaq channel. Almost a shame to open that coconut can its in such good condition.

You forgot the gloves cutie 😷 lol I love these videos so much!!!!

We 're having barfaroni!!!! I'm laying in bed at 12:15 am with wifi ear buds cuz hubby is słeeeping, I keep saying "oh god I'm gonna barf". I know the fish is gonna be gross.

That was great! I loved how you did the tests on the old food, I can’t wait for your next video!😄

Love this channel. Keep it up man!

Great video ! It was super cool to see it under a microscope 🔬, fascinating!

It's getting to where you are the only person that I really enjoy "listening" to, as well as watching your groovy content! Thank you from Seattle 😉

the milk one is a reupload?

Your videos rock my guy I am addicted hopefully you have tons of these cans.

15 dollars for some canned soup? Uh uh

When you put the cans up to your nose to smell them, it's all I can do to not take a whiff, too. Lol

You should try to get new cans of the same stuff for comparison, side by side; then we'd see what it supposed to look like vs what it looks like now...

This channel is very interesting to watch everyday

“Hey everyone” haha I love your videos dude. Keep them coming!

I can't get enough of these videos. Keep up the awesome work!

I really like your videos. Very interesting to see what's in those old cans after all those years.

By far the nastiest video of yours yet. Thank goodness I wasn't eating 😂 Keep it up man!

I’m in love with these videos.

This guy is on the spectrum about his decades old canned food-Fantastic!

Thanks so much for these bro 😎

I love watching you when i cant sleep. Wish we could be friends

The recipe on the asparagus can said "drain liquor from can" instead of drain liquid.... 2:00 minutes... Either it was a typo back in the day or it may have been some really good asparagus... I love your videos...

Another great video, thank you😊 I learn so much and all of your videos are so interesting.

So excited to find your channel 🤗 subbed right away!

Can I just say I love your videos and I’ve been around since 15k subscribers and love seeing your Channel grow

It's fun learning, two of my kiddos glued to my phone watching this.

Very cool and very interesting for sure. Enjoyed the science part of this the most.

I think he's just as fascinated as we are.he turned into a lil kid making the whooomp sound pouring that out lol

Omgosh! The marvel evaporated milk used to come in government packages! Along with cheese, rice, box of farina and other things! My grandparents used to get a monthly box! Whew memories 😂

I love the coconut can and that add on the back about the cupcake and cookbook.

Your videos keep getting better and better. Love them so much. I’m a fan for life!

Don't forget to clean off the can opener blade. . . with fire. lol

Absolutely fascinating. I enjoyed watching this.

I never thought the sound of a can opener would b so relaxing 😂😂😂

Best stuff on YT right now! Love every vid

Great show!

Holy shit! I wasn't expecting to see a can from a county away from where I grew up. Port Angeles! We have a lot of cool canned seafood from where I'm from. Maybe you should look for some Poulsbo Pickled herring or oysters :)

Omg the sound the soup made when you dumped it. For a second, I thought that sound was my stomach lmao

the packages of these cans are colourful and reminds me books with beautiful cover which make me want to read i think it is the reason why i keep watching these videos

The sound effect he makes when dumping out the pea soup

You know you r interesting when you have people watching your channel while in hospital !!! Keep popping tops luv 😘🤩🤩

Those microscopic images remind me of some kind of abstract art.

Gotta work in the morning and here i am watching videos about a guy opening old cans of food...

Cool vids... I never heard of this grocer company but I do live close to Danville, Illinois, which I think is cool seeing this older can from there.

...... I had to come back and comment on the graphics of the cans .. Love it :)

Great camera lense, very clear and I like that can opener:) cool vid. Thanks!

Waiting on you to find a can from like 1899 or 1910. I'm sure somewhere in America it still exists.

The way you said asparagus. Oh my heart, that's so precious 😍

I must have eaten several dozen cans of that pea soup in my life.

in 79 i ate korean war c-rations--- they were great !!
