Expiry dates

[thør]

As a kid, if something was passed it's fresh date, we'd just plug our noses and drink it fast.

lol Truth!

One of the reasons that I'm not a milk drinker, now.

Ha! So we weren't the only ones! I have to admit tho that I love milk. It has to be skim, but I love it and use it in smoothies along with fruit and ice.

Whole milk or death!

Milk was very expensive, here. It was barged up from Seattle, so it was never fresh. Fresh milk came from a local dairy that was a buck and a half more a half gallon. Not in mom's budget.

If it was poured for you, you drank it. There was no arguing about it.

Ewww. It's putrid. I'd rather die of dehydration.

Thor! That sounds like a story from the Olden Days.

Fresh whole milk is like candy. And is perfect food for turning a newborn calf into a 400#-er in a year.

It was the the '60's in Alaska.

I worked as a grocery buyer for 7 years. Most food actually has a sell by date, not expiration. There is a significant amount of time after that date that food is safe.

Sometimes when the bread is fuzzy I just pop it into the toaster and eat it. I'm ok (debatable I know).

I wanted to make some homemade coffee creamer with sweetened condensed milk. All I had said it expired July '14. Okay, I'm still considering this. Open it up, it's as thick as Heinz. My spoon stands up. Can't remember what the consistency is supposed to be. So mix it with milk and vanilla like the recipe says and it won't blend even in the ninja blender. It just sinks to the bottom.

Sigh.

Rimford - what's your av counting down to? Your next bowel movement?

The NCAA tournament. It's all I have to look forwards to since the Cowboys lost.

Gross.

I think they are there for a reason.

Like to tell me not to eat something so I don't get ill and die. Plus, if it IS bad, then taste testing is horribly appetite ruining.

I got a snack for you that never expires.

Hahahaha. Nice one.

I'm sending you some expired milk to wash down the ketchup popcorn.

We'll see who's laughing then.

Do you have a rotten sweet and condensed milk kink or something?

[rimmy]

Eek! No!

I have a serious issue with expiration dates (expiry dates in Canada, apparently). I follow these dates explicitly, no deviating, no taking a chance...

I guess I'm just an obeyer through and through.

Did you just mock Canada?


Off with your red head.

I mean don't ever take the greatest country in the world's name in vain or we'll launch the seals.

While we do have the bag option I buy my milk in good old fashioned cardboard containers.

I like my bags of milk to have nipples on them.

 

[rimmy]

Greatest country in the world???

No proliferation of guns and free healthcare.


Yup.

I used it in the coffee anyway.

Makes you like me more? *blink blink*

Eek! No!
