The first thisg she told me was that drinking the Pepsi from a can
which had leaked wouldn't kill me because the high acidity in the
product prevented the growth of bacteria.


It may not kill you, but....




Hum - I remember well when cold drinks were stored in steel cans.
I lived on an island 2500 N. miles southwest of Hawaii ! Twelve weeks
after leaving port in Oakland, a ship would bring what we need for that
month - with flying bumble bees C-24 cargo masters (0.7 mile long runway)
would bring in urgent and fresh food. (They were 24 hours flying from Hawaii!)

The steel cans would rust if left for 3 months or more in storage.
The soda drinks (all kinds) were Fe enriched! - Iron content.

Some, actually tasted better! But we all waited for drinking out
of a glass bottle.

Naturally, state sides, storage was never an issue and the can's internal
'plastic' like cover kept the soda free of iron until it was sold.
