Eating after Smashing

[ArrayKnight]

Since smashing is essentially equivalent to using a can opener, shouldn't the smashed open can's contents be eaten immediately after opening?

[Bill Tarling]

Personally I wouldn't think they necessarily needed to be eaten immediately -- just means that the contents are accessible now (and decaying faster probably) -- I could be wrong though... I smashed a few cans first to get an idea how much was lost to determine what else I would need to eat or save.

Totally makes sense to me, also you should not get as many calories as the smashing process would undoubtedly lead to losing some of the contents. I dont see any way you could carry around a smashed can and keep the contents intact. Even if you used the can opener and didn't eat it right away you would have to carry it in hand like a cup filled to the brim, who the heck would do that?

Smash was separated from Eat for clarity, but I a clean solution is to do exactly what you suggest -- eat automatically after smashing.
