Recently in the UK, a couple celebrated their 50th anniversary. I think they had moved and found a 50-year-old tinned chicken (had it been a wedding gift decades before?) in the cupboard. The groom opened the tin, finding the chicken quite tasty. His wife, if memory serves correctly, declined sampling the fare. It was a nice human interest story. The tinned chicken lasted a lot longer than a lot of marriages.
