Someone Found A 'Wildly Corroded' Can Of Spider-Man Pasta From 1995—And The Contents Have Not Aged Well

Remember when macaroni used to come in shapes?

Or the times when mac & cheese came in different colors?

The 90s were a wild time. How do we think those things have held up?


The answer is—poorly.

Twitter user Dinosaur Dracula found a can of Chef Boyardee Spider-Man pasta from 1995.

And step-by-step, he began to open it.


After getting through the rust, what he found could rival the Venom symbiote.

And which also took the shape of the can.

The congealed mass bore little resemblance to any sort of shapely pasta, but if you look closely, you can see a fossil.

This particular can of Spider-Man pasta is a year older than Tom Holland—the Marvel Cinematic Universe's current Peter Parker—who was born in 1996.





Our friend, Dinosaur Dracula, has also reportedly done this before with a 30-year-old can of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pasta.

And has inspired other people to find items in their pantry that have been there for far too long.






How have we let these things stick around in our houses for this long?

While we all have downtime, please, raid your pantries. Put the things dated pre-2020 out of their misery.

If you're feeling nostalgic, there are better things to try than old canned goods. The Vintage Candy Company offers gift boxes, available here, for a variety of occasions and decades.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.

'The Onion' Rips Ted Cruz With Brutal Headline After Yet Another Vacation During Texas Disaster

The satirical news site The Onion had social media users cackling with its brutal headline mocking Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz for once again being out of the country when Texas was hit by another deadly natural disaster.

Cruz faced considerable national backlash after he flew to Cancún while millions of people went without food and water as a result of the February 2021 Texas power disaster. At least 246 people were killed directly or indirectly; some estimates suggested as many as 702 people were killed as a result of the crisis.

Mark Ruffalo Blasts Joe Rogan For Being Shocked By ICE Raids On Non-Criminal Immigrants

Actor Mark Ruffalo took podcaster Joe Rogan to task, saying he is being either "not that smart or not that dumb" for thinking that the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown would only target criminals.
