Obelix Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think they all have one don't they? I've found some Heinz soup that has a date of Oct 2005 on it. Going to get another one tonight and compare the food data to see if the rumours of it being watered down since the great downturn are true.

Jackie2141 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I once saw someone in a supermarket open a jar up and took a smell. Decided that he didn't like the smell, put the lid back on and place it back on the shelf. These things go off in 3 days once opened and I wasn't letting him get away with that. So I picked it up and while he wasn't looking I place it inside his trolly. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emma royd Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I always buy my dad a Blue Stilton cheese for Christmas. He delights in bringing out the Green Stilton the following Christmas and serving it up to make rom for his new cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I've got a packet of chocolate condoms somewhere. I'm guessing they're out of date because I had a vasectomy 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdnaKrabappe Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Love the trolley story! I went to the cinema with my friend last year and she offered me a malteser. it tasted like cardboard! Thinking i'd just got a bad one, I took another, and it was the same - vile! so i leaned over and said i think something is the matter with your maltesers, Shoving another in her mouth she said, what? I said they taste funny, she said oh yeah they are best before Dec 2008. It was September 2009! She ate the full bag! The same friend often drinks milk a few days out of date and i've gagged at it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I recently had a new kitchen fitted, and had to clear out my old cupboards. I got rid of spices with a best before date of 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndix Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I bought some banana's last year, only just thrown them out as there was an unidentified stink coming from the kitchen. They had basically turned to brown liquid. :gag: ewwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndix Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Shaw was the kind of bloke who met the world head on, mould and all. Ironic that he died only a week after writing this- and it wasn't the mouldy food that got him Sorry- I just wasn't expecting to find some of his posts to catch me by surprise. As for sell by dates, I had a very out of date tin of treacle that turned explosive a couple of years ago. That's one sell by date that I'll respect in future! It took hours to clean the treacle out of all the corners in the kitchen cupboard when it went bang. Sorry to hear about Shaw medusa treacle sounds an interesting one, you wouldn`t think it would explode would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
