This is what I found: Look at the top of the can, which is just a thin shell that the walls are crimped around. That's the only seal other than the ringpull, over a long time span the carbonation can escape, a few molecules at a time. And with temperature changes water vapor inside the can will also escape. Coca Cola types drinks contain phosphoric acid, citric acid, and the carbonation is carbonic acid. These all attack metal, the walls and bottom of the metal containers are plastic lined to reduce the action of the acids on the metal, but it's not totally impervious. The only seals that are impervious to leaks are called hermetic seals, and these are not used for containers that contain beverages or most foods.
My grandparents, Bob and Georgia Williams, ran this store for awhile in the 80s and 90s. I think it was originally a Piggly Wiggly then later Discount Foods. Anyway, I used to spend a week during the summer with them and have lots of memories of hanging around at the store.
It had some of the best chili I’ve ever had. You could buy the chili by the brick. I grew up shopping there. I’d go in there around 9 or 10 years old and buy a package of BB’s and a can of Happy Days tobacco. Mom used to send us to the store on our bikes to get milk and things. One time I’ll never forget, I put the milk on my handle bar on the bike and it turned over and busted a gallon of milk right in front of the main door. Then I got a little older and mom let me drive her car up there before I had a license. It was back streets all the way and I never had to get out on the main road. But the road was much wider there by the nursery and you could do some killer doughnuts. LOL I’m sorry momma, I don’t do that stuff now. It’s sad to see it this way but time marches on. As well as it does for me. I’m 54 now.
I'm 28 and im starting to see this happening to so many places that were a staple of my childhood. It hurts but not as bad as watching it happen to family
Oh home. I’m 5 states away and I can still smell the store and getting a cold dr. pepper with my school teacher otw home. Porum everyone takes care of everyone. Love you sooner market
@@AbandonedAtlasFoundationI feel old because I instantly knew what the green stamp dispenser was. My grandma used to let me lick the stamps and put them in her stamp book when I was a kid in the early 80s.
Shouldn’t there be a law against store owners leaving places like this without donating the food? You’d think they’d learn after Mexia supermarket in Fort Worth, TX.
Technically, isn't it trespassing when you enter abandoned buildings? It is not illegal to open mail found in the trash, but I'm not sure about abandoned buildings. I wouldn't open it on camera and wouldn't take it.😉@@AbandonedAtlasFoundation
I love your videos but perhaps you could change the music. It's depressing. For a while it's tolerable but then it just gets so depressing. Just an observation.
@@franciscodanconia4324 Mexia Supermarket. It was a grocery store that went defunct in 1999, and the owners abandoned the store with EVERYTHING in it, food included. After 3 months, the FW health Dept stood in, and sent on Hazmat teams to clean the building, because of how rotten all the food was.
@@AbandonedAtlasFoundation Oh no, you're fine. At the time of the cleanup operation when Mexia closed, they had to because of how many bugs there were, and the foul smell of rotten meats and produce. You were completely fine when you went, especially if it closed in 2007. The smell and bacteria would be long gone.
Do you know the science behind why there’s no soda left in the cans after 15 years? I’d love to know!
Magic
Maybe it just disintegrated!! 🤔😳

I have beer and soda cans that I saved that "emptied" too. Amazing that happens.

That's neat that you have that history. I hope life has been kind to you.

Happy Days Mint or Raspberry? I always liked the raspberry, wish they still made it.
My mom used to say time marches on. ☺️ Thanks for juggling my memory.
I’m surprised someone didn’t buy you another gallon of milk being a kid and all, I would have

Love you sooner market
My hometown. 💛
Amazing video! looking at the milk to figure out a rough date of closing, was very intelligent!! 😁 Can't wait for more!! 👻🌹
I remember how wavy the floor was as you pushed your cart down the aisles. And i used to get the best tacos there for me and my granny.
I live in porum i go drive by it all time. Talk about throw back in there
Good vid dude. I used to go to that store when I was a pup, late 70s early 80 with my grandma. Pretty cool to see again. Thank you.
Thank you make video it brings so much throw back ❤
I agree 💯👍 all the leftover groceries and other stuff should've donate the items.
7:15 A receipt from 2003 but there's an 8-track tape there? What?
So much history in this building to see!
Did you find out what the square was with the circle and numbers on it?
@@dovej3516 yes the person from the city water treatment explains it at 11:53 ! Pretty interesting

I haven't seen that open since i was a kid. And im from Porum
There was some nice 90s vintage soda signage. Hopefully that gets saved before the store is demolished.
0:52 where you’re standing is where the old movie theater was at
Grew up there many years ago,one name that stands out ,it once was a Piggly Wiggly.
That thing you where pointing out,is a S&H Green Stamp machine.
I’m old enough to remember S&H green stamps as a kid. I still have some glassware and plates my grandmother got with her stamp books from Safeway.
Ooo i would have totally taken those cans
bit faded but still cool regardless

It's hard to believe that so much decay can take place in 15 years. Like more than one tornado! Scary.
I love porum,
I miss Sooner market they had the best pizza
Taxes,government could let the guy sell remaining inventory at discount to payoff taxes??????😊
How do you guys get permission to explore these places?
Just ask around!
That place is in terrible shape to have been open as late as 2007!
That was very interesting bro. Love your style and approach. You got a new sub because of this video. Well done man.👍🏻
I would have totally opened the tax bill, lol!
Opening somebody else’s mail is a crime! But I wonder if it would be different in this situation since it has been closed over 10 years.

"beautiful building"? Where?
Oklahoma!
@@AbandonedAtlasFoundation I was born in Oklahoma City, 1963!

I blame mexia for this (probably) trend
Mexia TX?
