WWAW expiration dates?

[Brooke Shields]

of the people i've asked, more of them throw shit out if they're past the expiration date than I would think. But also I'm a dirty motherfucker.
It's never about money, but more about experimentation and laziness.


Milk for example, I only know from experience that it's still good like 2 weeks after the expiration date. Unless it's chunky or smells I don't care, but I've only seen that once and once was enough. Sure i've discovered mold on things, but I'm a bachelor or a scientist or whatever makes that acceptable.
I argued with a girlfriend once over throwing out a bunch of beef I knew was still "good" but was a couple of days past the date. It wasn't slimey or anything.

What else have you tried?

I take expired medicine all the time. Allergy pills expired in 2019 and still work fine on the occasion I need one. Same with half of my generic dollar tree ibuprofen and other medicines, some even from 2017.

I think they get old quick!

Expiration dates are meaningless on canned goods. That shit never goes off

If the milk is one day past the date I find it very hard to enjoy even if it smells perfectly fine.

I never noticed how shitty those were. Weepy Tony looks so effeminate in his little glove.

It depends on what it is and where I got it from. Most anything from a box I'll still use well after expiration. Same applies to canned and jarred stuff that hasn't been opened or dented. I ignore expiration on milk and use it until smells off. Same with meat. With meat, I've found that one store I get it from tends to go bad literally the day after the printed expiration. Another place I consistently get another week beyond it's toss date. Walmart does something weird with their meat as it takes forever to spoil and none of their meat (chicken, pork, beef, fish) has any flavor. It's like they irradiate all the flavor out along with the bacteria they intended to kill off. Their vegetables suck an ass too. Do people who regularly shop at Walmart actually cook?

When I did: no.

Milk where I live is full cream so the expiration date is usually pretty bang on. I don’t fuck with it.

Expiration dates on pills are total bullshit to sell more pills.

I throw out expired canned food on the principle that if I haven’t eaten it in 4 fucking years I’m probably not going to.

Expiration dates on honey (real honey not corn syrup American goyslop) are total bullshit, you can eat it years past the date.

Meat you should just smell and look at it. I’ve seen meat on the shelf at the store I wouldn’t eat and I’ve eaten meat 3 days past its date.

Pizza can be left unrefrigerated on the kitchen table and be safely eaten 3 days later. I did this for years.


Pita bread will go mouldy before you get it home.

WWAW manufacturers making the expiration date extra short on purpose so people throw away perfectly fine food and buy some more?

 

[guest]

Expiration dates? That’s nothing but a racket for the Jews! Use your common sense folkschh!

 

[Prince Bvstin]

I never check the date on anything*. They don't put expiration dates on fruit because you can look at it and see it's good. Same goes for any other food group stupids. I did once drink soda with gray fluff bobbing in it and a few sandwiches with blue fur on i noticed after taking a bite but i didn't die. Rotting meat is common fare where i live, nobody gives a shit.

When I'm buying food I'll reach to the back of the shelves and lift trays to find the longest expiration date stuff but that's just common sense

Can confirm

Sorry for spilling company secrets like that, boss man. I guess i can forget that promotion

 

[PogromStallone]

I've noticed on some stuff in my country that they replaced the phrase 'expiration date' on products with 'best before but often good after'.

poof

Mould is extremely unlikely to harm you on its own but the food will rapidly change flavour.

Ahhh India

Growing up my diet was a lot of expired food, because my parents thought why pay $2 for a fresh, soft loaf of bread when you can pay $1 for a moldy, stiff loaf of bread? I'd always have a stomachache and feel nauseous which I felt was just normal human behavior and not perpetual food poisoning.

My college years were a lot of Chef Boyardee and fast food because that was "safe", but when I actually started cooking like an adult I get super super aggressive about throwing out expired food. Being perpetually sick and not enjoying food so you can save a buck or two on groceries is not the life I wanna live.
