1. Don't open it let alone eat any of it.

That thing should have been sold to the Pentagon as a bunker buster.

2. Legumes HAVE no expiration date. That's why you dry them.

They've sprouted beans and peas that were more than 2000 years old. Unless they get moist, they are in stasis.

6. I just opened some garbanzos that I bought from Wegmans.

It also had a date on the lid from 2002. However, the date was something like,"August 15, 2002, 3:12:42", so I figure it's either a "canned on" date, or that Wegman's really, really knows when these beans going to go bad down to the thousanth of a second. I'm eating them in my salad anyway. They taste fine, and no ill effects to report, so far.

8. Pleasant taste, some monsterism.

Actually, I've had them on my salad a few times and they taste fine and I'm fine. Good to know, because canned goods have to last through a zombie apocalypse or we're screwed.
