You gotta eat it, and you gotta do it hard and fast. Every second you wait is a second it gets worse. It wouldn't have been in there if you didn't mean to eat it
A few years ago I got up very early (still dark out) for a workout and decided to eat a piece of bread. Halfway through I was like "I don't remember putting butter on this." I turned the light on - mold.
There'll be nothing wrong with it, the milk fats leech out and effect the colour, that's why it has a best before date, but it'll still be perfectly safe (& delicious) for years.
I admire your restraint, I once popped a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover into my mouth because I saw it on the living room table and thought it was random cotton candy. My wife says this is why women live longer than men
Was walking down the hall to my dorm room a billion years ago and a friend tossed a little orange orb to me as I passed by. Caught it one-handed and in stride, popped it in my mouth without looking, and bit down hard. What I thought was a peanut M&M was really a paintball.
Was at my folks for Thanksgiving and they'd put out chili crackers and a nacho cheese ball. Grabbed a cracker and big scoop of cheese, stuffed it in my mouth...and discovered that they were pumpkin-spice crackers with pumpkin roll dip. The violence of my reaction is still discussed every holiday.
In college, I mistakenly licked car wax off my wrist, which I thought was sour cream from the nachos I was holding. The poison control hotline person was very nice and helpful to a panicked, 20 year old, stone cold moron. Lots of drool and vomit, but I’m fine 25 years later, probably.
Was a peace corps volunteer in Liberia, parents sent me some jerky as a lil treat. A rat got into it in my house, but just a corner of the bag. Fuck that rat, I said, I'll just eat the pieces I know it didn't get to.
About 4 hours later I got to contemplate whether I'd just given myself Lassa fever
Chocolate in the original packaging is good for a year! Old chocolate turns white when the fat separates, at which point it starts tasting gross, but it's still safe.

We actually have two of them in the fridge from last Easter. I told my husband, 'we either eat them or throw them away.' (They are still there. Didn't want to eat them but don't have the heart to pitch them)
My dad used to find candy in this pockets all the time and then try to feed it to my children as “aged chocolate” I think you should have just eaten it. 😂
The self control is commendable. This makes me think of the multiple times I've seen pepper flakes or hot sauce on a table, started touching it, then decided to rub my eyes.

Forgive me

Save it until it has matured.

Wait, MINI? Yeah, best not, as that's just a tease.
