Hans Feldmeier, 87, a retired German man, ate a tin of Swift's Bland Lard from 1948, the BBC reported today.

He seemed to be fine afterward--regardless, he had a scientist check it out before hand.

Whatever his reasoning was, we bring you five other odd/weird eats people/imbeciles have consumed over the years.
