When it comes to food, many expiration dates aren't as firm as they appear. https://nyti.ms/4a40rBV

The most useful thing I’ve read on social media in months.

Whoa whoa whoa, you all have FOOD!?! In this economy!?!?!

fridge full of condiments. milk storage in the most chaotic method

Right? Who puts a gallon of milk on its side like that? 😂

the more you stare at this picture the worse it gets

Just minutes before reading this article we had just completed our annual purge of the spice rack!

The country is expiring on 1/20/25 and you are maybe a little worried about the milk. Thanks.

Yeah, you know what? Fuck it!

Count on the NYT to start trying to prep us for the FDA being gutted. Soon we will have stories on how food safety is actually bad for us.
