My wife always checks the expiration dates on everything she buys. I just look to see if anything's oozing out of the can or package, if not, it's good enough for me. Yesterday she picked up a can of chunky chicken, name band mind you, and of course she checked the expiration date. It was July 9, 2420. That's 403 years. By July 10 it'll be no good. The Norwegian Canning Museum has canned sardines that are 100 years old and still edible, if you like sardines. Canned food was recovered from a sunken steamboat in the Missouri river that was still edible after 109 years, and 3,000 year old honey has been found in Egypt that was perfectly good to eat...and still sweet. So we bought every can in the store. Now we're planning to will them all to our descendants, if we don't need them ourselves for the zombie apocalypse. My wife is worried that they might not have can openers in 2420 but I figure they'll have cybernetic implants by then so no problem. But then again if they have cybernetic implants they might not need canned chicken so maybe we should stock up on 30 weight oil or WD40 instead. For the kids.
Your posts are highly annoying. Anyhow, I always check the date on shit because I am neurotic like that.
do you have a picture? i highly doubt it says 2420 and if it does any normal person would know its a typo
Okay it took me awhile. Date by MeAgain posted Nov 17, 2017 at 5:54 PM So, I was mostly right. I didn't have my glasses on, it just says July, not July 9 (fake news). But anyway who's normal around here?
I scored a 600ml Farmers union Ice coffee the other day for 37 cents, because the expiry date said that day. I was happy, and it was perfectly not off
Your post made me laugh,. so thank you for that today.....nothing but tears and anger here lately, so any comic relief is celebrated by me.... I guess I better go finish cleaning this house and try to get calm again......not easy these days. but lol, to if its not oozing stuff out, it is good enough for you, and on the topic here, they always stock the cans and food that have the earliest expiration dates in the front and the later expiration date ones way in the back.
said the expert I toss several items out of my food donation every month because rich fucks think us poor fucks dont mind eating stale garbage that is past date
My truck came with a sticker on the rear window, "Zombie Apocalypse Response Team". My daughter loved it...I'm predicting the Zombie Apocalypse will occur soon. Aftereffects of North Korea nuclear meltdown sweeping across the globe. Flight 370 might be a factor...?
the thing i've been told to look out for, is when something starts to rot, it out gasses, from the chemical reactions involved. the resulting increase in pressure from the contents, will cause the packaging to deform outwards. so if the can or other packaging has outward bulges, that's really a super good sign of a high risk of serious illness from eating it. now the thing about pull dates, is that they exist for a lot of different reasons, and protecting your health may sometimes be secondary or even tertiary among them. but they are a warning to exercize caution. and basically, to cook thoroughly enough to kill whatever bugs may have been born in them. extremes of heat and cold (cooking/baking, and freezing) do reduce risk (but aren't foolproof when you see obvious problems).
