 Posted: 05/22/04 - 16:42 Post subject: Expiration Date May 02 2003
So would you still eat it?
The food in question is CoCo Wheats. I bought them as comfort food after 9/11..so they are three years old.
I almost went ahead and ate them this morning..but then I thought the morning of a race was NOT the time to experiment with post-dated foods.

Had the box been opened? If so, and you have some obnoxious neighbor kids, then you should....
Nah, toss 'em.

If they haven't been opened yet, yes. If they were opened on 9/12/01 and you've still got them, no, get rid of them.

I lived on coco wheats thru my high school years. I still eat 'em once in a while. I probably wouldn't eat 'em if they were expired though.

I think cereals like that will be what the roaches will be eating when we blow ourselves up. I don't think they ever go bad if un-opened.
on the flip side, i aint gonna do it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
