It's annoying that the food in my fridge has a deadline to be eaten. Eat by August 26, 2006 or else. I already have enough deadlines in my life. I don't need to be told when to eat my food too.
Who makes up these expiry dates? What methods do they use in doing so? What's the margin of error?
I sometimes eat food past the expiry date. I paid for the food, damn it, so I'm darn well going to eat it, even if I die of some sort of food poisoning.
If it smells okay, it should be okay, right?
I know a guy who once left an uncooked steak on his counter for a day or two. He later cooked it and ate it and lived. So what's the big deal?

Holy, I changed jobs and forgot all about your blog w/o my linkage. Weird. Could be I've just been so disoriented changing jobs like this, whichj hasn't felt like a smooth transition. As bad as the CoC was (pay, location, politics), I almost wish I'd stayed there another 6 months or so. -Fez
Hey. I think I know that guy too!
But he also eat sandwiches out of garbages and leaves porkchop bones on his desk for weeks.
Oh and the latest. We have to clean our desks and he found a box of Shredies from like 1997 under his desk and took it home to eat later.
Don't worry Fez. Just because you forget about me doesn't mean I'll go away.
anon, why am I not surprised about the Shreddies? Didn't he also find a prehistoric pizza box once while cleaning away the rubble of his desk one day. Oh well, one more issue for the safety committee.
The safety committee can only do so much, especially when he's the one suppose to be representing our concerns.
