Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Don't know how keen I'd be on that overdue...
But I have ate my share or more of 5+ expired ones.

Makes a guy wonder what all is in them that they are still 'safe' to eat that old...

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

I think the way they have been stored makes all the difference. If they came out of a sun warmed pile from Iraq, I might pass. But how do you know.

I just did an experiment. I purchased an expired case to feed to the pre-Rangers and my girls. They haven't had the pleasure yet...Yum, yum, yum

I'll post up in the food section if they ever show up. I ordered them over 2 weeks ago!

They probably aren't going to like you afterwards.

We'll either get an update in the food section or the medical section......

No problem

Not put here to make friends!

Put here to lead n' learn em'

We'll sort all those misguided feelings out in heaven over the next few thousand years!
