Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 25, 2013

It’s the date the MILK might expire, Calvin. You wouldn’t necessarily expire from drinking it, but it wouldn’t be a pleasant experience, that’s for sure!

Calvin, your Mom will protect you from such a fate, although I’m sure that there are some days that she’d like to turn her back on the whole thing.

I wouldn’t like to know the day I might expire, too!

Leave a carton in the fridge for a few months, and you will find lots of stuff growing in it—that’s why, Especially if the container gets shoved into the back, and you forget about it.

Yup…whenever someone thinks a food has spoiled, it’s “Taste this for me.” Not a second opinion; they don’t want to risk getting sick, but they don’t mind risking you do.

Maybe that expiration date only applies to kids who are spoiled.

I would never leave a kid in the back of the fridge! :-)

how about buying that soy milk?

Actually, the only products that are REQUIRED to have expiration dates are baby food and formula. Sell by dates are when the store has to take a product off its shelves – the products are usually still good for a few more days, if refrigerated, or longer, if frozen. (It’s meant to protect them from selling perishables that have spoiled.) Use by, best by, best if used by, best before denote when the product is at its best – it may gradually decline in quality over the course of the next few months or years even. (E.g., Tabasco sauce doesn’t go bad per se, it just turns brown and looks nasty.) It does not become immediately inedible. As long as it looks and smells OK, it can be used. This sort of confusion is one of the reason Americans throw away so much food unnecessarily.

“When yogurt goes bad, how can you tell?” – Gallagher

This reminds me of the old Life cereal commercial: I’m not going to try it, you try it.

Line from a classic Little Rascals (Our Gang) short: “Don’t drink the milk … it’s spoiled!”

Agree, Calvin, I don’t wanna know the date I’m gonna expire either!

Better to be safe than sour.

agree with Cal……..

Everything should be fine unless your birth certificate has an expiry date…

I think I will stay with the frozen vacuumed packed freeze dried dehydrated wheat for my expiration date.

Calvin should have poured a little out for Hobbes in his bowl and let Hobbes taste it.

I can just imagine the screwed up face Hobbes would make if the milk was spoiled.

LOL xxx

I have a problem with every thing in the grocery store is dated,good but my 6 cans of beer does not have a best before date.So I play it safe and do not keep any over night.Leading to over drinking?

“Flag The Troll” . . . one of my LEAST favorite games to play whenever I’m online!!!!! :-(

And everyone.

Better not!!!

Didn’t look like Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs in that cereal bowl – maybe they’re out of them – time for a quick dash to the store, Calvin….

No Calvin, You don’t expire; the Milk does!
