You've never heard of al dente pleb?

>>17656209
Have you considered they're hoping you die of botulism?

>>17656209
What's wrong with dented cans? It's not like there's a hole

if it's not swollen (indicating microbial activity), and doesn't have any indication of a leak (residue on the outside, wet label, rust) it's fine

>>17656457
>dent
>botulism

>>17656209
As long as one of the ends is good enough to get a can opener on it and there's no indication of any rupture, it's fine by me.

Even if it's not obviously punctured, there's a chance the tin liner has broken on the inside.

>>17656209
I buy dented cans if the price is reduced. Never had an issue.
It's the ones that bulge outwards that will kill you.

>>17656464
If there's enough of a dent, there's a hole. It may be microscopic, but so is bacteria.

many such cases

>>17656571
Thanks fag

>>17656209
You get a discount.

What you should really do is add some excitement to your life and rip off the labels too, so you can surprise yourself for dinner

>>17656451
i laughed

>>17656464
if it breaks the seal it can grow botulism even though thew can still seems sealed

>>17656644
lmao thats gotta be fake

>>17656807
Is botulism uncomfortable? How long does it take to kill you

>>17656451
lol

>>17656942
Livestream it.

>>17656842
if only it were so

>>17656209
just empty the contents and check for little niggers like you should be doing anyway.

>>17656209
Microsoft went down 3 points

>>17656807
It can, yes.
Will it? Most likely not

>>17656793
Alpo...again?

>>17656644
is this in English? I can't understand a word this fellow is saying

>>17656209
>Whenever someone shops for me, they always get dented cans
Kick them in the crotch next time.

These. Dents are ok by themselves, it's just that they tend to cause the can to lose its perfect seal, which means the can is at higher risk to develop bacterial contamination over time. If it was just made and you're gonna eat it today, no problem. If you're going to put it on a shelf and forget about it, it might make you sick when you eventually have a storm or something and decide to break out the canned food.

it depends if it has a nice hiss or a bad hiss when you open it

Don't order groceries, man. The wagie picking the shit does not have time to do basic quality checks of what they're grabbing.

>>17660471
>does not have time
They still take an hour to grab 20 items

>>17660489
i think instead of no time they just don't give a shit

>>17660489
If you order it direct from the store they're picking it fast, but in a way where you'll still have to wait a whole ass day for groceries.
Through them shopping apps, I mean it's a dude going to a random grocery store with no idea where things are in the first place.
For real, the only advantage of grocery delivery is for the laziest pieces of shit.

>>17656571
The most quality post in this thread, after el dente. Thank you.

>>17660500
Not necessarily. I worked that gig a while back, and frankly so long as something wasn't absolutely unsaleable you'd never get in trouble, while for being slow you do.
So is the can mostly can shaped? Yes? That's what you're getting, on to the next.

>>17656942
it would be extremely painful

>>17656209
Can dented, contents might go bad in a few months. Can not dented, contents might go bad in a decade.

>>17660471
>don't order groceries
I see you don't know how to cheat the system
>go to supermarket
>see they sell beef tenderloin/eye fillet in specific quantities (~1.2kg, 2.4kg)
>order 1.4kg
>get upgraded to 2.4kg for free
>do this for most packaged meats (1200g mince gets you 1500g, etc)
>get 200 of groceries for 110
last time they just added a whole shoulder roast in the bag that I didn't even order. Thank you wagie!

>>17656451
fuck, I actually chuckled

>>17656209
>Whenever someone shops for me, they always get dented cans
They are getting a discount so they can bleed even more money from you than they already are.

>>17656209
I used to not care but I recently got a dented Campbell's chunky soup can with an intact pop top lid and when I ate it it was all fizzy and rotten. So I'm wary of dented cans now

>>17656942
It's not the worst way to die, but it's among the worst.

But take comfort in the knowledge that many anons have suffered even more horribly than you will before the end. Like the /k/ommando who dug up a WWI mustard gas shell in France and got his skin melted by the spicy air a few years ago.

>>17656209
as long as there is no sharp crease or point the can is fine.

>>17656942
Yes, botulism is a horrible disease. Your nerves die from the top of your head down, until you’re paralyzed and your lungs cease.

>>17656209
Indents are perfectly fine and can only be done by something external harmlessly push into the can i.e. not anything to do with the contents inside.
Swollen cans on the other hand you should dispose of. Those have something going on from the inside pushing out, most likely some sort of bacterial contamination. Probably will give you food poisoning, but if you're really unlucky it could be something much worse like botulism.

>>17662505
indents can damage the inner lining and expose the bare metal to the can's contents
this compromises the safety of the contents, not by botulism but by metal poisoning

>>17656451
I snickered
like muttley

>>17656942
asphyxiation while paralyzed is one of the most intensely horrifying deaths. not quite up there with being burned or flayed alive, but it's close.

>>17661461
For you?

>>17660489
And a wagie with no Wagecage™ 9000® needs 2 to do quality wagie work. But with the Wagecage™ 9000® you can send one electrical shock to their perineum every five seconds for the low cost of $0.87 per shock to speed them along, getting you quality groceries in as little as 1 hour and 57 minutes.

>It may be microscopic, but so is bacteria.
soi

>17662052
That's definitely an oversight in your specific grocery store. Please exploit that as much as you can, it's doing gods work.

>>17656209
Unless it has a hole or a crack it is fine.

>>17656209
>letting other people shop for you

>>17661215
yeah that's what i meant, if it's passable it goes in, they aren't shopping for themselves so they wouldn't likely give the same level of care
