Mmmm battery acid

When you’re unearthing the bowels of your drawers and storage cabinets, you sometimes encounter fossils that require further examination. It’s not because it’s fascinating, valuable or even useful, but it makes you wonder, WTF is this doing here?? Enter exhibit A:

Pardon my lack of up-close photography skills. If you can’t tell, the expiration date for these batteries is 1997. Don’t they normally put the expiration date for these things like 10 years after the manufacturing date? This means I was still in junior high when these batteries were born. 20 year-old-batteries! These things can almost walk into a bar and order a drink! Also, note the corrosive stickiness on one side. Yes, these are definitely historical gems.
