I like to think of expiration dates on food items as more of a suggestion rather than a rule.

Where is Skimpymist???
my mother was always giving me other peoples perscriptions from years ago saying "they're fine". I mean 5 yrs expired. prescribed to someone else!!
I like to think of Enty's reveals as more of a suggestion than a rule
A con by food manufacturers to get you to throw away perfectly good food so you have to buy more.
Has anyone ever thought about what actor they would choose to portray themselves if their lives were to be made into a Lifetime movie?
I think I'd choose Aubey Plaza. She looks nothing like me but I like her sass and her fuck it attitude.
sorry Skimpy. I could not resist.
Everything tastes better with a little dash of mold.
Sugar I'd choose Betty White
Lol@ Sugar
The last time I took an expiration date as a suggestion rather than a rule I had a godawful case of food poisoning. NEVER AGAIN.
I like to think salmonella is a myth.
@Sugar On Lifetime? Then Tori Spelling, obviously ;)
Excellent, Folly. She has mad range, yo!
@sugar, id have to go with Tori spelling too. She nailed her part in mother may I sleep with danger. That is probably the single greatest lifetime movies that all others try to emulate but fail miserably.
It's mostly "sell by" rules, not expiration.
Good one, VIP. I would like my husband to be played by Ewan McGregor please. And I would like my husband's penis to be played by Michael Fassbender's penis. No offense to my sweet, loving and wonderful real life husband.
I guess Tori is the most popular girl at West Beverly after all!
I follow expiration dates thank you very much. My mother instilled a fear in me to follow them! Anyone watch that horrifying show Extreme Cheapskates on TLC??? I dont know how "real" it is but those people are craaaazzzzy
I agree with Enty's sentiment. Also Renoblondee is right. Saw a whole report on that on the news.
The worst is dairy items that expire before the Best Before date.
I agree with Enty, Renoblondee and FlirtyChick. Sell By dates are usually set well in advance of a product going bad, so the seller can ensure the product is safe. Most items can be used well after the sell by date. If it is expiring before that time, it was probably improperly stored.
By the way, did you know some companies are quietly lowering sodium content?
Yep, expiration dates ARE just a suggestion. After that, foods are considered to be "past their peak of freshness". So basically, if it smells okay and there's no mold that can't be removed, go nuts.
Dereck, that is one disturbing show. What about the couple furnishing baby's room with stuff from THE DUMP????!!!!!! Sure they washed it but still, nfw!!!!!
Derek my fave is the one where the family doesn't use toilet paper, they use cloth squares and the mom just washes them. Yeah, no thank you!
Sorry but no. I've had two horrific bouts of food poisoning caused by my using ingredients that were passed their use by dates.
If it's even 1 day passed, it's thrown out.
Me too since I was just in a pizza place with my kids when a staff member asked the owner, should I put this milk back (in the fridge) it was only up a couple days ago?
Depends on the food. You gotta be careful with condoms though. You could be a month away from the expiration date, but you keep the things in your glove box, car parked in a lot all the time, and them shits become dry and brittle, baked in the summer sun. If yer lucky you figure it out 1/2 way though and try to fish the bits out of the broad. If yer unlucky, then you gonna be a daddy.
I toss things before expiration dates. I had food poisoning in Mexico and it was horrendous. OK... truth is I was paranoid before that incident. If it even LOOKS or SMELLS even the tiniest bit off, I toss it. I toss milk 2 days before the date regardless.
Old prescriptions reminds me of when I worked cleaning out houses for the antique shop. There were a couple guys who would grab any scripts they found. 2-3 year old Valiums, yeah, I'd make em gimme a couple. Some random shit with a name I never heard and it said Don't Operate a Vehicle, I'd pass.
One time dude found some shit that turned out to be an anti psychotic or something. 3 of them took the pills that night and were all fucked up. Seeing shit, fading in and out of black outs. One dude drove home and took out 2 mailboxes on his drive. He didn't know what he hit until he retraced his drive the next morning. They flushed the rest of the bottle.
Pugster Mom: My nieces got sick in MX because of food they bought in the US. Remember those peanut butter bars from GA? Yup. That was it.
Smell it and if it doesn't pass the sniff test, toss it. Trim the mold off the cheese and it's still good. Foods 2-3 weeks past and already open? uh huh. Toss. I honestly don't buy a lot of prepackaged food and no dairy really so I rarely have food born illness.
Actually I eat a lot of old stuff so I think I've built up an immunity. :)
I was in Whole Foods today and all of the milk in the front row had a November 17th expiration date. Being that today is November 22nd I dug through the containers to reach one dated December 1st. Don't know how that was allowed to happen.
My dog prefers slices of bread for a treat instead of real dog treats, is that weird?
