Don't forget a nice tall glass of raw water to wash it all down.

**Danno** · 05-01-2018, 02:31 PM

yeah, that isn't an expiration date.

Yeah I said it earlier in the thread, "best before" is a marketing tool to move product. If you didn't open the jar/can/whatever, they hope you'll toss it and buy a new one because of the date on it instead of just leaving it on the shelf.

It does come in handy when you it helps you notice that something is really freaking old though.

I was on a camping trip years back and someone brought a pack of Snowballs. There was a "best by" date on them of "10/28" which we surmised to mean October, 2028

**iceman** · 05-01-2018, 04:00 PM

The fact that if you're not gonna eat it they still would want you to throw it away and buy a new one way before 2028 leads me to believe it was October 28, probably the 1-year production anniversary.

Best is definitely just a suggestion. The question is will you look / sniff before you down the fishes. This is a must eat menu

**iceman** · 08-21-2018, 07:53 PM

Hard to tell with the wrapper but if the can has any damage or swelling or whatever definitely don't eat it. But otherwise it probably won't hurt you. Only one way to find out.

**JimmyCarter** · 08-21-2018, 08:01 PM

I wouldnt do it. Look what happened to bmills.

Eyes? I´ll pass.

With Surströmming is not so much because the taste itself, as it is surprisingly "delicate" but the smell?
Goddammit.

Have smelled the Icelandic delicacy, Hákar and decided to skip on that one due to the similar scent..

When Bourdain was in Iceland was pretty funny. He retched.

Judging from the video, which made me laugh very hard, I cannot fathom eating that shit. You’re out of your mind.

I posted this several pages back, some Texas dudes get some Surstromming from Finland. Pretty damn funny.

Some sketchy leftovers in the fridge right now. Since I am on a diet there's nobody in the house who likes to police the fridge.

**babybear** · 07-30-2019, 09:55 AM

ok not a would you eat it, but would you use it......

I just went to my office 1st aid stash for some neosporin (stitches in my hand from a fight with a lighting fixture) and the expiration on it is Aug 2001
I doubt it "goes bad" but damn 18 yo....
tube is in good shape tho

Medicine/drugs can lose potency after expiration. Won't hurt you, but won't likely help either.

Depends on the drug:

"Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date."
