And cold baked beans. And mushy peas. I can't think of much I won't happily eat straight from the tin.

I read somewhere that improvements in canning has made this conventional wisdom mostly obsolete. After that I no longer avoided dented cans and I will even sometimes choose a lightly dented can because I know it will go to waste otherwise. And I feel sorry for it.
This is the best I could come up with on a quick Google search:
It’s okay to eat the food from dented cans...as long as the dent isn’t sharp enough to have pierced the can or isn’t on the seams that run down the side or around the top and bottom. But if the contents of a can (dented or not) spray when the lid seal is broken by the can opener, the food may harbor Clostridium botulinum—a bacterium that secretes the neurotoxin that causes botulism, a frequently fatal disease. Wipe up the sprayed contents immediately with a paper towel. Note any code or batch number that’s on the can before (carefully) throwing it in the trash. Use a disinfectant cleaner on the counter top and use a paper towel to wipe it up. Then report the incident to the manufacturer and to your local Health Department.

cold pizza is amazing if you eat it within the first day of getting it; afterward it's a bit too cardboardy. i've never tried eating cold canned stuff and never want to.

i like how we were clowning on latebloomer for eating cold condensed soup, and yet (until much later) let slide the INFINITELY more disgusting instance of a poster eating ass-lint.

When yr cooking soup and you have a little taste to see if it's hot yet, but it's still cold...

Well no one would slurp condensed soup cold, at least not without adding water for god's sake. We're not animals.

Took the first spoonful of "Gourmet Minute Five Mushroom Creamy Blend" soup cold at lunch today. Soup smelled and tasted OK but was unmistakeably *carbonated*, with little bubbles all the way through the "creamy blend", no matter how slowly I stirred with a spoon, and all before I'd microwaved it. This was sold from a large chain grocery store deli counter, soup packaged in a clear bag that now that I think of it was bulging when I scissored it open (didn't notice, distracted). Soup never sat out, went from grocery to fridge to office fridge without warming up, and it's well before the Best Before date of March 1. Of course I stopped eating after that first spoonful.
Now I have to wait to see if I get botulism. Could not possibly be more ironic if I do -- I'm a neurologist treats patients with migraines and dystonia with Botox injections, and I keep Botox vials in the freezer of the fridge where I kept the soup (no, there was no cross contamination).

good luck, plasmon. As you wait, you could investigate whether Clostridium botulinum metabolic activity creates residual CO2, for funsies.
