Unless you've got a Science Fiction space warp in your garage, a small
hole's got to be it :-) However, a year's temperature swings in an
uncooled and unheated garage could easily mess up the seal on the pull tab.

When I did a major basement cleaning last year I came across a stash of
about a dozen cans of Brio (an Italian Canadian soft drink) that had
been there for more than a decade. None of them was more than half full.
Several of them were empty. There were no signs of them having
leaked..... other than being empty.

Those older pull tab seals are rarely absolutely air tight, because of
how they're manufactured there are usually several microscopic pin
holes along the break point. Newer pull tab packaging is sealed
better by the new type of film used on the interior... the film is
applied to the lids prior to attaching the lids to the can. The cans
are filled through that hole that attaches the pull tab and sealed
with a type of pop rivet, that can eventually leak as well. Pull tab
packaging hasn't the same integrity and it's shelf life is not as long
as conventional types.

It's too bad you can't get it. The refrigerated stuff is much better. Around
here (USA Kansas City) Frank's brand offers both canned and refrigerated
kraut. The nice thing is that they sell small little bags, just enough for a
couple reubens or to serve with some knackwurst.

Recently I found a 12 pack of soda in a downstairs storage that I don't
drink often, and there was a solid form of the soda under it. There was
still liquid in the cans that got thrown out. I don't know how they leaked.
