Visiting Grandma’s house always feels like embarking on a new adventure, brimming with curiosity and surprises at every turn. Her shelves and distant mezzanines are filled with an eclectic array of treasures.
From tin boxes adorned with multicolored buttons to beautiful shells collected from distant seas, and even an old “Lotto” game tucked away in a linen bag—her home is a treasure trove of the curious and unusual. Each visit offers the opportunity to discover new delights and unravel the stories behind each cherished item.
The granddaughter of Angela Smith, an American, was astonished to discover that her grandmother had a can of corn in her pantry that was over 100 years old!
Angela had purchased the canned corn way back in 1929, and although the jar had started to rust, she chose to keep it for reasons unknown.
Initially skeptical, the granddaughter couldn’t believe that the jar had truly survived for a century.
Despite the skepticism surrounding the longevity of the corn kernels, both grandmother and granddaughter were curious to see what had become of them after all those years.
To their astonishment, upon opening the jar, they discovered bright yellow grains that appeared remarkably fresh, defying expectations of decay.
The unexpected discovery of the seemingly fresh century-old corn not only amazed the grandmother and granddaughter but also added another fascinating chapter to the stories held within the grandmother’s pantry.
Despite the risks associated with trying the preserved corn, the pleasant and appetizing smell emanating from the jar was a testament to the remarkable longevity of this unexpected find. It served as yet another reminder of the endless surprises waiting to be unearthed in Grandma’s treasure trove of curiosities.
