    I mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.

    But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.

      Expiration dates give a clear and easy way to know if something is definitely still good.

      Only after the expiration date do you have the need to do the sniff

        I’ve seen food expire before the date stated, so you should also take into account where you live and the regulatory entities that manage your food and stuff.

        I’d say always do the sniff if you are worried.

        Is milk an exception? Because the moo juice always smells a little off to me. I usually have to resort to the take a small swig and pray technique to tell.
