Same with (bottled) water. The same water that was around even before dinosaurs digested it, also has an expiration date. I assume it has to do with law: everything considered to be a food has to have an expiration date printed on it, no matter how ridiculous it seems.
all of these food items were perfectly edible. The candy was a little bit less soft, as it was exposed to higher temperatures once, but they tasted as good as freshly bought.
Most things that have not been opened and/or have not been exposed to light or temperature extremes can be eaten safely way after the expiration date exceeded. But with dairy one has to be more cautios. A week or two past the expiration date shouldn’t be a problem, considering it has never been opened before and the cooliing chain has not been interrupted.
I wouldn’t risk meat or fish, tho. Food poisoning can be a nasty ordeal. I’d rather dispose of it than taking any risks.
Whenever I have a chance to watch cable tv occaionally, I am astonished how many commercials there are and that, before the inception of the internet, everyone put up with commercials that lasted for about 10 minutes. And seemingly still do.
Today, when using the internet exclusively, one gets annoyed by maximum when there is one single ad that slipped through the ad blocker.
I have an old cassatte player (mid-90s) that is capable of recognizing the tracks, if there is a gap of at least 2 seconds between them. When going fast forward it stops at the beginning of the following track. Also it is equipped with an auto-reverse feature: when reaching the end of side A it automatically switches to side B, without having to eject, flip and insert the cassette manually.
You always have to keep in mind that Veritasium gets sponsored by companies that take part in their videos, so the content is biased. For example, they did a video about self driving vehicles where this whole video basically was an advertising for, i think, it was Waymo. This video in particular sparked some controversy, although it was announced that this content is being sponsored at the beginning of the video (it is the very definition of what an influencer does - advertising!). Or another example: the video where they tested and compared different types of night vision goggles, which was “influenced” by the military, as they are the main user base and also developer of these devices.
I like to watch most of their videos nonetheless, as they are educational and well-explained. But I see this kind of video content as entertainment rather than education, as I don’t know what parts are researches badly or explained wrong. I see it similar to Wikipedia, where school teachers tell their students not to rely on it alone - but it can serve as a good starting point into further research.
not these ones.
This can of pineapple slices has been found in the back of the food cabinet in December 2020. Its expiration date was in July 2017. I did not open it. I carefully removed the can outside right into the trash bin. I didi’t want to risk an explosion of this fruit bomb.
