Pay no attention to expiration dates. Have a close friend whose father is a pharmacist. She has been told her while life that while meds MAY lose some potency , they never expire. Same with food. If it’s a can or jar, smell it before consuming. You’ll know right away it it’s bad. Frozen food? May not taste great if it’s been in your freezer for a decade or more, but not likely to cause any harm.

I found nigga jemima pancake mix in my Dad's refrigerator that was from 2016 just this past month. I guess it wasn't much of a hit when him and my mom were living there. I remember cleaning out their freezer in the basement and I found food in the way bottom that was from 1996. This was in 2019 too. Not sure I'd really want to eat that, it'd be more ice crystals than food at that point.

To a point. I've had dry-pack stuff that's been a year out and it's fine.

Wet foods? Nah man, that shit goes away if it's that old.

If the can is fine, you can (probably) dine.

Said someone, probably, once or twice.

I hope you're still smiling in 3-4 hours.

Hey man, i just wanted you to feel better about ur incoming botulism.
