I was in 1st grade in 1996. But if it matters I was the oldest kid in my class by like two months! This continued to be the case for a few years. And I'm usually very good about finishing thing by their "Best by" dates. Once in a blue moon I'll have a dairy product a day longer than the date. More often I don't get around to the produce quickly enough. I've wasted a few bags of celery that way.
I had some cough medicine from 2009 I just threw away in March of this year. Unfortunately it was alcohol and sugar free, so there would have been no fun in trying a little just to see if I fell into Wonderland.
I found a few mixed spices that expired in 1998 last year. They were actually handed down from a parent in that condition. Amazing.
In the ashtray of my 1966 Bug is a McDonalds game piece from 1998, which is about the time I stopped using that car as my daily driver.
I work in a supermarket down here in Aus, and when we were getting new shelving and all lines being relayed, some MarsBars were found, from 2008. And this happened in 2011. One of the managers decided to bite into one of these mars bars, its was so hard that he actually broke a tooth.
this is a pretty good story up to this point. i feel like the manager should then get sucked into another dimension. maybe he shrinks really small and finds a whole new world inside the tooth he just lost. the episode could guest star a young ellen page and forever be a blemish on her already spotty resume.
the baddie of the weak could be the ever-dreaded PLAQUE and they're little dudes with guns that shoot white junk that cement sugar and what-not onto the tooth promoting TOOTH DECAY which is why the tooth broke in the first place, like enemy sabotage or something. and then ellen page could be like "SAY WHAT BROHEIM"
yeah, that could be her catchphrase. she's like the guide, the sassy park ranger of the manager's tooth.
I love how plaque, tooth decay, and say what brohem are lined up diagonally in Andrew's post. It's pretty pleasing to look at.
Dangerously close to a potent idea for a remake of Army of Darkness there. Except the manager would obviously need to be a Robocop, or one of many Robocops.
Someone just asked me if that box of feta cheese in the fridge goes on salad. That box has been half-eaten there for three years.
I take expired medicine all the time. Unless I get congested way more than normal, I'm never gonna use a whole thing of Sudafed or whatever in a year and I figure that the placebo effect will make up for any decrease in potency because of the expiration date.
not much today was found in the supermarket, other than some meant a week or so out of date. wonderful story, is it not? might go asking around at work next time....
