Heinz responded to the tweet, confirming that the rusted tin “should be in a museum” – because that particular soup was discontinued in 1982.
Wow! That soup was discontinued over 35 years ago. Should be in a museum rather than a food bank! 🙂

Some urged the food bank to auction off the retro soup can for charity:
Put them up on eBay and raise some extra cash for the charity. Think you may be surprised at what you may get for them!

Finally, the charity used the opportunity to remind people that when you’re donating food, always check that what you are giving is within the use-by date.
It's a record!! Never had a donation with 10d on before! Please could we remind everyone that food donated needs to be in date! Thank you 🙂 pic.twitter.com/EVf5qMulA6
