Although it won't have any microbes in it (assuming the can is still completely sealed), it'll look and taste awful. Sealed cans only serve as a barrier to germs. They're not some kind of time-halting magic chamber. Chemical reactions still proceed inside. There's a reason manufacturers eventually started stamping "Best Before" dates on them. And no, it wasn't to fool people into throwing out perfectly good 10-year-old cans of food.

That's really weird. Any CVS that's open 24-hours has their over-the-counter stuff available, since it's all just sitting out on the shelves. I wonder if the person who maintains CVS' website screwed up and accidentally marked a bunch of stores that are open 24-hours as also having "24/7 pharmacies". I was surprised how many the CVS website said there were in the DC area.

For what it's worth, I know the CVS in Ellicott City, MD is indeed a "24/7 pharmacy", or at least it was a few years ago when I last had to get a prescription filled in the middle of the night.

Send a complaint on CVS' website, and hopefully next time you need it, their website will have been corrected.
