Experiration Dates

Ok- I dont know about you- but If I get any kind of food with an expiration date- I wont eat it if it comes like within a week before it. CALL ME PARANOID

This is tricky with milk.

In case you didnt know- next time you go buy milk-
Dont just grab the one in front. Usually if you grab
one in back- those are the FRESH ones and have usually a week or so more left on the expiration date.

I figure that due to govt regulation and such, the dairy companies would be stamping a best before date that would already have like a 1 week safety buffer so I'll still consume the product if it's a couple days passed.

yes, come on, the worst that could happen is probably diarrhea, but if you REALLY let the food expire, you might end up with food poisoning and that's not as fun as diarrhea

When my friend comes round, he eats crisps that are sometimes about 3 months out of date. Is actually quite funny. He ends of farting really bad in my room and torments me all night, but then again, saves throwing away food! i hate seeing food wasted!

i used to work in a grocery store and we put the old shit in front so it goes first. All the fresh stuff is in back.

yep, i used to work in a grocery store too, FIFO or LILO - first in, first out, last in, last out.

I've been to a grocery store once that "pushed" the old stuff back when the new stuff got in. Don't ask me why :P
