If I see dairy products with just a few days before the expiration date, I get nervous and try to reach to the back of the shelf for a newer date. Same with other food products that have it. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw an expiration date on my liquid hand soap: EXP04/10 Jigga whaaaaaa? Since when? SINCE WHEN DOES SOAP EXPIRE?!!!

They might lose some of the qualities that are desirable for baking, but they won't kill you if you eat them.

And I too reach for the newer dated product and never the one in the front that everyone has touched. Unless it's chips, because the ones in the front are less crushed. Those are your grocery shopping tips for the day.

The only reason I noticed was me daydreaming last night as I was brushing my teeth. I looked in the mirror and saw the backwards writing. I almost swallowed my toothpaste. Oh shit. ::checks expiration date on toothpaste::

Expired = bad Hey now, back in the olden days, they had no expiration dates and people survived. AND HOW THE HELL DO SO MANY KIDS NOW HAVE THE PEANUT ALLERGY WHEN THEY DIDN'T MAKE A BIG FUSS ABOUT IT WAY BACK WHEN?!!! I don't remember hearing it in the 80's. Some schools don't even allow kids to bring peanut butter and jam sammiches.

Those are your grocery shopping tips for the day. You do realize that you only have about 5 days once you open the milk. Right? Regardless of what the "SELL BY" date says. You have to differentiate between sell by and expiration. In some cases though, the expiration date is meant to make you buy more stuff. Like advil and tylenol. Cosmetics do go bad though.

She'd smell it, deem it "not that bad" and make us eat/drink it. Also, she was a firm believer in the five-second-rule and said it was better after it fell because it had "floor spice" now. Looking back, we must have been pretty fucking poor when I was a kid. But I never get sick so it all worked out.
