The Crazy Russian Hacker decided to open these cans for a taste test after 60 years. Do you think they’re safe to drink?
The Crazy Russian Hacker has recently been unboxing some pretty cool survival items from the Cold War to see if they’re still good to use all these years later.

It's water

Does it pour out like 10 W 30 ?

The only thing I would be concerned about would be bacteria. I would still filter, boil it, use UV radiation to purify it, or treat it with bleach prior to consumption. Waterborne illnesses are not something to take lightly.

Stale water?.I thought it might taste like rust.
