    It might not kill him, but it might explain why he feels so old.

    I’m constantly cleaning out my pantry of expired goods.

    It’s safe until (in the case of bouillon) it starts to leak out of the foil cube. And even then, it’s PROBABLY safe, since it’s something like 60% salt. Or if you have it in a bottle, safe until it turns to moosh, and even then, as for the cubes.

    Of course eating that much salt isn’t safe either, for someone of their age.

    Ever since I moved to Clark County, Washington almost ten years ago, I have this one condiment shaker that has cinnamon/sugar therein; still tasty and almost empty though.

    I have horseradish powder from the 60s. Still good, just not as hot.

    If Earl only knew the full truth about everything he has eaten and still eats to this day …

    You may want to check your food from now on if she’s using that bouillon…

    There is so much salt in that stuff that will keep for a 1,000 years

    Was surprised to find chickens can live into their teens, so it may be only the chicken’s mother has passed (unless Tyson got hold of them)

    Hard to find bouillon cubes these days, at least the single-serving ones.

    I mean, with how much salt there is in it. It’s basically jerky at this point.

    Might want to check the expiration date on everything else, if you think your heart is up to it.

    I’m serious about storing dried proteins. They tend to be suitable for bacterial cultures once the packaging is opened. Bouillon may be too salty but Martian bacteria (if there are any) could probably grow on it.

    I have a DIL who inspects every best by date before using and will not use anything in her house that is past it. I can’t get it through her head that the product is still good even if it’s a few weeks beyond the date on the package.

    I gave my cousin a chef’s apron I found on line on which was emblazoned “The [Jones] Family Barbeque. Many have Eaten. Few have Died.” Lucky for me, he got the joke.

    I had to throw out some beef bullion cubes before their expiration date. The seal was bulging as in botulism,

    This seems to be a bit of gender-role reversal; I have often told Her that if girls’ attitudes toward expiration dates were accurate, not bachelor would ever live long enough to cease being a bachelor.

    What’s that you ask? Have I ever breakfasted on room-temperature pizza that’s been on the counter for 3 days?

    I was on my own at 18 & didn’t marry until I was 27 – of course I have!

    I rarely “stock up” of food items, so have little concern about Use By or Best By dates. One of the advantages of having a neighborhood grocery store, which is open every day.

    I can’t think of his name. but there is a You Tuber, that tries out old-to really old, boxed and canned food. A lot of it isn’t lethal, but no longer looks or tastes as good as it first did.

    I recently discovered a bottle of Bawls Guarana Root Beer in the back of my fridge. I can’t even remember when I bought it; it had to be at least ten years ago, but it was still perfect.

    We have a family cabin used by multiple families. It is an adventure to see what you find in the fridge, and try to figure out how old the food is.
