Butter beans are beans.. Was gonna say they are like Lima beans but that is just another name for them... All I remember is that butter beans are white since I haven't eaten one since I was a kid./

That's just what they want you to think.

You can eat 'em, but you would be running the risk of getting deathly ill. Sure, a can left in proper conditions with nothin but some dust on it could hold food safely near indefinitely, but a can that has been dented or is rusty is a can that has been compromised. Best throw it out, or give the can to someone who enjoys old containers, labels, etc. It just isn't worth the risk.

Are you that hungry?

Dear god, I can see it now. Poor gamers on the internet showing up in an infomercial with Sally and Larry.

Sally: "SilverEagle... {que in a distressing image of poor SilverEagle shoveling rancid food from a rusty can} A poor gamer forced to eat a 50 year old can of butter beans due to increasing IP costs. Will you let this injustice continue?"

Larry: *nods sympathetically* "Indeed, Sally. For only $29 a month this poor gamer can be fed a proper meal, and interwebed. All that for the daily cost of a cheap cup of gas station coffee".

Famous last words.

Beans aren't vegetables.

Nah, famous last words are "Hey, watch this!"

I'd see if they'd be of any interest to any kind of collectory type. Wouldn't go expecting millions, but occasionally these things are worth a couple of dollars, or simply make a nice addition to something (an' being nice [by giving it away] is something to feel good about).

Nah, famous last words are "Hey, watch this!"

Not so famous is, "I wonder what happens if-".

Absolutely not okay :stare:. If the dog is bothering you with barking, offer to take 'im for a walk or something (constant barking is often the result of boredom).

The amusing part is that I was gonna say that butter beans are like lima beans. It's just a name for a branch of beans in the bean family

Why not just Google it? And also, I'll let you decide whether eating 40 year old food is a good idea.

Threads like this are inappropriate, games have enough problems without people accusing them of causing food poisoning

Seriously though, a frat-party-esq chorus of people trying to get someone to eat old expired food is a bad thing. It wouldn't surprise me if rusty canned food should be tossed even if it isn't expired, although I'm no expert. Still when something is decades expired like this is shouldn't be consumed.
