EXPIRED

Did you ever eat something then an hour later realize that it expired a couple of months ago. For example the twinkies you found in the back of your grandmas cabinet and then found out she bought them for your parent when they were 12! Or if you ate a fresh baked brownie from your mom's kitchen a chug down a ton of milk and feel like you just ate some very old sour cream with extra chunky specialties, but it was really just milk you bought before you went on vacation. But that has to be the worst thing that could happen when your eating unless you find a rat tail in your peanut butter or something.

don't twinkies last forever though? so even if gamma bought them when your parents were 12, they would still be all good.

twinkies expire.

I heard that if you stick a twinkie in the Microwave it sparks! It's like sticking a CD in there, or metal!

actually this is just a joke. I thought twinkies were indestructable AND in-expire-able. Hmm, actually the only food that doesn't need an expiration date is Honey, and that's the truth

so technically honey could last a thousand years?

or any other marshmellow-based candy. Where did the name "marshmellow" come from anyway?

it's actually marshmallow. looked it up, and turns out there's a plant called a marsh mallow (mallow be of the genus Malva), and originally marshmallows were made from the root of the plant. now, of course, they're made of sugar.

i am pretty careful when it comes to this stuff. but i once saw a coworker drink a soda with cigarette butts in it. he didn't flip out, but i gagged for him. ugh! and a few times--i began eating a piece of toast and realized there was mold on it! chucked it across the room like a chinese star. just the other day i was sweatin' some cheerios with bananas and we had milk that was two days past the expiration date. i sniffed it, shook it, gave it serious thought for like ten minutes and--BY GOLLY i had some cheerios with old milk and bananas! it was skim milk so i don't think it's as bad, but i don't know for sure..

i remember i went over my cousin's house, and i was real hungry. so i looked around the kitchen. saw some bread. now all i needed was somethin to make a sandwich with. i look in the cabinets and waddya know... peanut butter! so i'm like oki doki, this'll do. the peanut butter smelt kinda funny.. but i thought oh well! then i was about to finish the whole sandwich until i was lookin at the jar and noticed that it expired a year ago. i was like aw crap. i threw out my sandwich and didn't wanna eat anymore. my burps tasted like peanut butter, but strangely i never threw up, thank goodness.
