50-Year-Old Canned Bacon — pulled from a Fallout Shelter and still looking surprisingly like regular bacon. Would you eat this 50-year-old bacon? 1.🏃 Ain’t no way 2.🥓 Bacon is bacon — gotta survive 3.😂 One tiny bite… surely nothing will happen

Funny timing. I canned bacon in mason jars back in 2008. An adventurous friend of mine sat down with me a few weeks ago and we opened it together. It needed to be crisped up, but it was delicious. The 18 year old bacon was yummy.

18 year old... 😱

There was a show called Eating History where they did that. It was so good! I understand why they only did one season.

LOL.... still breathing?

The moment you start frying it your nose will tell you if it's OK or not I'm sure. Bacon and Fresh Bread are two of the best odors on planet earth.

Looks like bacon to me. You should've seen some of the things i ate after a hard drinking night when I was younger. 🤯

🤭🫡

My intestines curled up and died.

Ate C-Rations as old as that n still here.

It probably wouldn’t taste very good, but as long as the can didn’t have any holes in it, and it was still sealed the likelihood of it making you sick is slim. I would eat it if there wasn’t anything else.

Me too! When reality hits hard enough, the mind learns to compromise. 😅

Yes it does.

Nope 🤣🤣🤣🤣 however I can use it for the Muslims

Uh, no.

Try a teeny weeney bit?🤭

I’ve tied a teeny weeny bit of a lot of things that didn’t exactly look all that good, but that stuff looks plumb nasty. Just for looks alone, not even knowing the taste or smell, I might be tempted to tongue tip it, if it didn’t smell rank. 🤒

With that much ch sodium, bacon should be good to go.

@KevLAbeast

Yeah, I would.

I'll eat it

I mean it might be safe to eat but not thinking it would taste good. Hard pass for me 😂

3 and 2 but only if there was nothing else to eat and It was late and I did not have money for delivery. First ,A little nibble, and if no problem 15 min later, I will have bacon for dinner that night . I would have asked grok first, but would be afraid the answer would be no.

I dont see anything maggots so I suppose I would try it.

That's a big negatory for me. Unless some muslim fucks were around. Then I'd scarf it and proudly take my punishment.

It's bacon.... 2, of course I am eating it, whether it kills me or not.

Only thing I’d be worried about is if the metal from the can may have done anything to the bacon. Like if it was made with lead.

You're absolutely right Kurt! Lead poisoning is no joke. I’d skip it unless it was literally a survival situation.

It’s probably still healthier than any regular bacon from the store today. 🤣

👎Nope.

It's all relative to the degree of hunger....the Donner Party will understand!!!

I once at a T-ration dated just over 75 years old…😔

That would put it lightly….😔

Hard pass here..

2. I don't put on any airs.

🫡

2 If you cook it right there's no damage. Besides that it doesn't look like it has turned.

Yep! It looks pretty good... if i am near starvation, I will even eat my rubber boot!

Throw it at Muslims.

Should be perfectly fine

If it’s all I had I’d do it. I’ve ate MRE’s during hurricanes so 😬

I try it

Sealed but has any bacteria grown in the 50 years. Most likely 🦠🦠, I would not risk my life on it.

I'd risk it. In 2012, a chef ate 4,000 year old bog butter found in Ireland and it was fine. And I believe an archeologist ate 50 year-old larded meat from WW2 not that long ago. So, yeah. I'd give it a go.

That Chef.....Umm.... still breathing today?🙄

Yup. Kevin Thornton. So far as I can tell, after running one of the top restaurants in Dublin for decades, he sold it and started a culinary school there in Ireland.

👍Yep! He's still looking sharp, I will be watching his videos this week.

Food Poisoning waiting to happen ☹️
