This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's already cooked in the can

Really? Figured it was raw.

...is the raw can cheaper?

It's part of the process of canning. The cans must be heated to kill all bacteria inside, otherwise anaerobic bacteria can reproduce in the can and cause nasty diseases like botulism.

botulism has gotta drive the price down.

If you buy a dinged or damaged can, you can often get a discount on it if you ask. They may or may not be safe to eat, and it's hard to tell until you open it.

Eating rotten canned food is just the poor man's Botox treatment
