Canned foods I know they can be good for several years if they aren't dented. I get nervous though because of my irrational fear of boutilism.

Soda in cans I'll drink a year after its expired and it still will taste fine. After a year it starts tasting like metal

Sorry if this is a goofy thread. I just thought it would be fun.
Generally there's a big margin of error in the sell by dates of food. There has to be a pretty significant passing of time before food becomes harmful to eat.
