Original Note:
No. The metal cylinders that some social media posts claim are explosives disguised as food cans are actually containers for M603 fuzes, which are designed to detonate landmines. These fuzes are not activated by opening the container, but by applying a large amount of force. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/01/instagram-posts/no-viral-footage-doesnt-show-explosives-disguised/
