I had a few individual tonic waters do that. Strange, I thought, not out of date, just leaked. |

I had one out of eight diet coke cans do that, couldn't find where the leak came from on the aluminium can. As someone said, probably a bad folded seam. |

Aluminium cans dont have seams on the body of the can, only on the top. |

White yogurt, white fridge, clean everything just in case. I kept an emergency tin of condensed 'nestles' milk in the back of the cupboard. By the time it was ten years past its sell by date I opened it out of interest but it had turned into a lump of pale brown jelly. I would have thought the sugar content would have made it keep, but I guess milk proteins don't keep. |
