   @samloonie when you've lived for more than a couple of decades, you start noticing that the experts keep changing their minds, so you stop trusting what they say...

     @samloonie "what do you mean i can just ignore the expiry date? you've been telling me to religiously check it all my life!"

     @samloonie there's been an information campaign about that recently. "see, smell, taste"

     i must admit it's a little late in life for me, so i'm having trouble fully accepting the concept in my heart

     @thor The date on the food packaging is meant to help the store do stock rotation.
     I've had brand new cans that bulged. I've had perfectly good yogourt lost in the back of the fridge for months.
     You can't trust the expiry date.

     some things just take a while before they happen to you for the first time

     such as food that isn't expired spoiling too early. it doesn't happen very often, so you might be waiting a few years for that.

     it never happened to me as a kid, because my parents probably threw it out before i could see it.
