The result of the debate was delete, but I'm being bold and replacing it with a soft redirect to the Wiktionary article to discourage recreation. — Gwalla | Talk 05:45, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete How has this lasted since mid-March? Sonic Mew 11:32, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand to include famous and infamous use --Irishpunktom\^talk 11:32, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Such as what? Radiant_>|< 12:11, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
    • The closest thing I can think of to a famous use would be the Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 collection by that name. I think the article is useless because the phrase is almost always "whole new can of worms", not just "can of worms". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:38, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
      • So merge it with List of video game powerups? I recall a 1-up in EWJ was a can of worms. Or maybe it was an extra continue. Radiant_>|< 13:08, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
