Oh, yes. Crisco probably killed more people than war.

Interestingly, I found that it can spoil on the shelf. Years ago, my
husband and I went to a friend's party, and the party migrated to
another apartment where a gay couple lived (relevant because they were
a couple of totally clueless men). One of them found out that we knew
how to bake and he brought out a can of Crisco to ask us if it was
still okay to use.

Answer? Well, NO. It was an odd color, and smelled worse. I couldn't
believe that Crisco could spoil, but I've seen it with my own eyes
(and smelled it with my own nose). Yewie.
