I've tried 10 year old soup, really bland
10 year old waxed cheese is fine though, and it can even survive some mould penetration. I guess because it's so alkaline that mould doesn't really do much.
When I was in the military in the 70s, when we went to the boonies to play hide and seek they gave us C-rations (the old olive drab green individual serving cans) that were marked made in 1954. We guessed they were left overs from a production run for the Korean war. They were edible, the best parts were small tins of jelly/jam and another of round crackers. Also came with not quite enough toilet paper, and a pack of 4 cigarettes.
not quite enough toilet paper
that sounds like the worst thing ever, lol
