This 80 year old corn is dangerous

[00:00:00]So I have this right here.

[00:00:02]Okay.

[00:00:04]It's a can of creamed corn from World War II.

[00:00:08]I want to open it up and see what kind of bacteria we can find in it.

[00:00:12]The one thing that I don't like about it is why is it so puffed?

[00:00:16]Does that mean it's filled with botulism or something?

[00:00:21]Oof.

[00:00:22]That doesn't smell good.

[00:00:24]It smells like corn, but bad corn.

[00:00:26]Watch, are we gonna open it up, and it's just green?

[00:00:32]Oh no.

[00:00:35]Wait a minute.

[00:00:37]It kinda looks alright though, like... It does but doesn't.

[00:00:41]Okay.

[00:00:44]Okay.

[00:00:46]The part that disturbs me the most is look at the can.

[00:00:49]There's something wrong there.

[00:00:51]- It's like the corn ate the can. - Yeah.

[00:00:53]So the bottom of the corn is not supposed to look like that.

[00:00:57]Yeah the brown part or the dark part is, I don't think that's normal.

[00:01:03]No, but the top looked okay though.

[00:01:05]Could we try putting it on, using the microscope?

[00:01:08]Yeah, I mean... To see if we see any squiggly things?

[00:01:11]Sure.

[00:01:12]Okay, so we got a slide here, a sterile slide, a microscope, and a sterile pipette.

[00:01:19]We'll suck out some of the juices.

[00:01:22]That's it.

[00:01:23]I'm gonna be honest, I've never used a microscope for biological stuff before.

[00:01:27]This is... I'm basing everything I've seen on TV.

[00:01:31]Put a little juice in between.

[00:01:33]We just have to squish another slide.

[00:01:35]And now we slide it into the microscope.

[00:01:40]We got some oil there.

[00:01:43]Okay, obviously gotta focus.

[00:01:45]Oh, oh, oh, oh!

[00:01:48]We got some little pieces of corn there.

[00:01:52]I mean, no I don't see anything.

[00:01:56]So what you're telling me is we're good?

[00:01:58]Mm, one second.

[00:01:59]Just let me search something.

[00:02:01]Okay, so the problem is apparently without staining them, they're completely transparent and we can't see them.

[00:02:11]- What? - Hahahaha!

[00:02:13]So they could be there, we just can't see it?

[00:02:16]Yes.

[00:02:16]- Okay, well, what you can't see... - Can't hurt you.

[00:02:18]Exactly.

[00:02:19]So uh, this should be totally safe to eat.

[00:02:22]You gotta try it.

[00:02:23]- You gotta try it. - Dude. I, I'm okay.

[00:02:26]I'm full. I had a big lunch.

[00:02:28]Yeah, me too. Me too.

[00:02:30]Damn, if only we weren't both full, we would have tried this.

[00:02:34]Yep.

[00:02:34]Yeah, yeah, it would have been delicious.
