Snopes says it's false. I had one comment and one email making me aware of this. I guess it's a rumor that's circulated for some time in emails; I just wasn't familiar with it, and the source from which I got the information yesterday was one I trusted.
Anyhow, I deleted that post.
During the flood of '93, my husband's brother, Phil, lived up the road in Lexington, Missouri, where drinking water was contaminated by floodwaters. Anheuser-Busch put wholesome drinking water in 12-ounce cans and distributed it to people in the area who needed it.
That was in 1993; this is 2008. For fifteen years I've kept two six-packs of water under an extra bed upstairs. Kids playing house up there have battered the cans somewhat; a couple are even split open. I think the cans are much thinner than those holding beer or soda pop.
I'll take a better quality picture for myself to keep, and those cans of water will go bye-bye.
