When I seriously started collecting cans in 2011, I read advice from other can collectors and one of the most often stated pearls of wisdom was to drain every can. I read many stories of cans exploding or leaking, causing damage to other cans or shelves in others' collections. So I've followed that advice. For the most part.
I came home from work one day this week and found this in my fridge:
Did some ice melt? Was the water line to the fridge leaking? Did someone break into my house and spill water in my fridge? Those didn't make sense. It had to be from something on that shelf.
After carefully examining each of the four suspect cans I found the culprit:
It was the can in the back trying to hide behind the others. When I picked it up it felt only half full.
So it finally happened to me. I had a can leak. But how did it leak? I still can't find the hole, it must be the smallest hole imaginable. I left it in the sink for a week to slowly drain most of what's left inside, but there's still a little left in the bottom that I can't figure out how to get it. I've decided to let it slowly evaporate thru the hole I can't find.
I mean, I made a post about it when I got this can. I put it in the fridge so I could drink it at some point. It hasn't been THAT long has it? Oops. August 20, 2023.
Ok, so it's been a while.
