Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Being mindful of your caloric intake is the only way to not become a balloon at our ages lol. I've definitely trimmed down my weight in the past few weeks here. Hoping to hit 159 before vacation because that's gonna be an eating fest......
scored some cheap chocolate bars today. i guess we'll be that house handing out full sized candy bars this halloween.
I fell into this trap before. They all have stamps that's "expired on June 2025" I bought it for a field trip for teens and was postponed. FML, I had 4 boxes of chips to go thru and couldn't hand them out as the bags started to leak air and all chocolates were 1 mnth pass (kit kats as well).
As a good teacher, ididn't hand them out in the next field trip.

Chocolate expires? Ha. Man, I'll eat Halloween chocolate 8 months after Halloween.
I eat expired chocolate all the time; it's when I teach and I hand them out to kids. Last thing I want is a lawsuit saying I handed out expired snacks.
Heck, even food bank won't take your shit if it's expired.
White is only when there's a drastic temp change - that's why you aren't suppose to put chocolate in fridge. Just leave them in a cool dark place.
Does anything actually "expire" anymore? All the dates you see on food are best before dates. With all the preservatives in packaged food these days I wouldn't be surprised if this shit outlived you.
Sorry not you MG1 specifically, "you" as in the collective "you"

Even with expiry dates, for the stuff that's got a date a year out, that doesn't actually mean it'll go bad in a year. It's just a bunch more hassle for them to do testing to okay it beyond a year so most companies don't bother.

The only things that legally require an "expiry dates" are baby formulas and medicine. (And even then it's not because they lose effectiveness, not because they become "unsafe" in any way)
"Best Before" dates are not a legal requirement, and most of them are completely arbitrary, not derived from any testing at all.
In fact, most of the time these best before dates serve the company's interests by making gullible people think "OMG IT'S EXPIRED I HAVE TO THROW IT AWAY" and then they go out and buy more.
When it comes down to it, use your senses (does it look off? does it smell off?) and your common sense (No that bottle of hot sauce sitting in your cupboard for the last 5 years that's basically just vinegar & salt is never going to go bad)

MG1 is ethereal, he is timeless.
He'll be posting about the Blue Jays on this forum long after we're all dead.
Fathered more RS members than anybody else. Who's your daddy?

Gulololol. Don't give a damn about the environment........... as long as cute little tarts in short, tiny, shiny blue dresses keep prancing the streets of downtown Vancouver, Im all over it.
New Year's Eve. First year of Operation Revnose.......... nobody believed me. That's the week I broke down and got me a dashcam, jbol.
The RS member who had my six, totally missed it. Man, those were the days.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.

Supervising a grocery store for 4 years taught me many things.
One of them is just how colossal we Canadians waste food. I'm willing to bet if we removed BB dates (we won't), more people would just use their senses and uhhh, common sense to figure out if food / drink is bad or not.
I'd say 95% of expired grocery shrink is perfectly fine. The 5% that isn't fine is mostly confined to dairy which can turn bad BEFORE the expiry date. And, no, that isn't a 'I told you so' from the collective short-brained voices of the excessively anxious food safety dorks. Rather, dairy tends to suffer premature decay simply due to poor storage. Pallets of fresh stock can sit for HOURS on a warm backroom. Where I worked, that would never happen but in places like Walmart and especially Superstore (where all employees mentally died 20 years ago), you can surely bet it happens.
And that's another thing I learned: Avoid stores that look like shit. It's like rust on a car. If it looks bad on the surface how bad is it underneath?
SIDENOTE: When chocolate turns white, that's just the sugar crystallizing and blooming to the surface. It's also important to remember that anything with this much sugar isn't considered food at all
