The ends of cans can bulge out due to the buildup of internal pressure, often caused by the fermentation of contents, temperature changes, or increased gas production from spoilage. When the pressure inside exceeds the structural integrity of the can, it causes the ends to bulge as a safety measure to prevent rupture. This bulging indicates that the can may no longer be safe to consume, as it could signal spoilage or contamination.

Why should cans swollen ends be rejected and sent back the supplier?

Because bulging cans are an indication of potential food borne illness. Harmful microbial bacteria give off gases that cause the cans to bulge. Botulism the most, if not one of the most serious. This would be an indication of rapidly multiplying spores that heat cannot kill, meaning cooking to the proper temperature would not kill the spores that would, if consumed, be potentially fatal. Botulism may cause multiple organ failure and even death. High price to pay to save a can of green beans. "When in doubt, throw it out!"

When did the battle of the bulge ends?

Answer 1There are several answers depending on what is the definition of "end." The German's "Ardennes Offensive" which began DEC 16, 1944 was stopped on Dec 22, 1944. Many look on this as the end of the "Battle of the Bulge." This was not completely accurate as the Germans had to be kicked out of the bulge area of which they had taken control. At that point, the battle continued with the Allies taking the offensive to regain control of the area within the "bulge." That part of the battle ended Jan 25, 1945.
