Expiry dates

[rimmy]

My thinking is that they're just a suggestion. If it don't taste bad then it's still good.

Then again, there's nothing like a nice piece of milk.

We all have an expiration date.

Where's yours located?

I don't pay much attention to the expiration dates. I should add though, a piece of milk is called Cheese in most English speaking countries.

Expiry?

Expiration dates, especially on dairy products, are to be followed strictly!

Hogwash. If it ain't green it's meant to be eaten.

I'm gonna send Fata a nice piece of milk tomorrow.

Sometimes it skeeves me out to use food past the sell by date (ie milk), but other things, like eggs, it doesn't bother me. Eggs are easy to test.

I have a nice piece of meat for her.

So is milk. Just give it a sniff. But I can usually tell the day before it goes bad, because it tastes oddly blue.

That's my one and only experience with synesthesia but it is the only explanation and description I have for the experience.

I hear she likes her sausage spicy. You may wanna rub some chili flakes on it before you present it.

if it stinks, toss it

They have a best by date on table salt. It's already 400,000 years old when you bought it.

 

[Aphro]

Little Green-Grey fuzzy boats floating on things like yogurt and sour cream mean it's probably not a good idea to scrape those off and eat the stuff anyway.

Anyone notice milk seems to last longer these days? And everyones kids got size 14 feet?

What does this mean?

I only do that with salad.

i've made it a habit at the grocery store to report expired goods. i'm not rude, just matter of fact, hey - you missed this. rule of thumb, spices once opened - a year. milk - clotty or smelly (my fridge occasionally freezes, so i don't really have this issue.) i am not tolerant of expired yogurt. rotten meat is nasty. if it has an expiration date several months out, i don't want the preservation chemicals in my body. fresh produce is mandatory. i will buy a quart of organic milk, if it is set to expire in a day, because it's only 99 cents and tends to last more like five days from the time it is opened.

Here in Oz, there's a huge thing about permeate in milk. People are going apeshit about it being in there.
A tiny bit of research would tell them that permeate is actually a part of milk that gets separated out during pasteurising, and that it then gets added back in.
Paying double or triple for milk labelled permeate-free is a monumental ripoff!

I can tell you right now that "everyone's kid" does not have size 14 feet. Just sayin'.

Killy's got a foot fetish. He likes 'em big.

Expiration date on medicine would still work to a certain extent. It would not have the full effect, but sometimes you may have to go with what you have.
