Will it kill me?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've discovered some rolo yogurty dessert things in my fridge with a use by date of 17/12/05. I really like them though. I've opened one and it looks ok. Even tasted it. Mmmm! Should I? Or am I going to regret it later? Any food hygienists in the house?

Normally the best before dates are taken rather wide, don't know when you bought it though. But about two weeks for something yoghurt-related seems too long to me :lol:

You don't want to be sick on new year's eve, do you? :innocent:

Eat them!
Eat them all!!

I am the world's biggest Rolo dessert fan.
I love them.
Why would they go off? Additives and E-Numbers last forever!!

:D :D

I'm don't think they're yoghurt-related at all actually, Zeno. And streamline has given me the encoragement I was looking for. It only takes one idiot to say 'do it' and I'm there. :lol:

That's the spirit, Francis, no fear at all. Even not for blubbery looking substances that are starting to grow a greenish fluffy coat :P

You ask the wrong person here. Quite recently I poured some banana powder (for making a banana milk shake) in a glass of milk. After stirring thoroughly I wondered that the colour of the shake was green. Then I checked the date: it has expired end of the 80s. :eek:
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

That's the best one I've ever heard...

You know, some people really go too far on expiry dates, I once catched a friend of mine throwing away dried herbs (you know, those in the glass jars) that had expired about a month ago :roll: :roll:

:lol: a few weeks ago we found some soup from the early 90s in our kitchen.
It looked more like mud than fresh vegetables but I’m used to that anyway :P :roll:

Though Z’s right. The date is taken rather wide, and more as u use for shopkeepers. After that date they aren’t aloud to sell a item but its still good.

Of course you don’t have to push your luck Francis

Well, no adverse effects yet. And as an added bonus I'll get to eat them all as Luke won't touch anything that's a minute past its use-by date.

A bonus indeed - I have been lucky enough to try a Rolo dessert myself and they are truly beautiful :notworthy:

Yoghurt is just gone off milk any way - so I hardly think a couple more weeks of yakkiness is going to do anything.


Things made from mucked about milk are just wrong on sooooooooooo many levels BLEURGH :urff:

Open it. Sniff it. If it smells ok then it's ok to eat.
If in doubt taste some. If it tastes yuck then it's gone off.

Indeed James. And after 3x200mg Ibuprofen, 2 bottles of San Miguel. A Morrisons Tex Mex, 4 pints of Stella, 2 pints of Sam Smiths Pure Lager and a bottle of Wolfblass Cabernet Sauvignon. Who gives a fnck? :lol:

I really must give up smoking.

Good beer can get better over the years, like Trappist, allegedly...

Bad beer can get very bad though :urff: Reminds me I found a bottle of bear expired in 2000 a week ago in our cellar fridge (which we used for the first time in years because of Christmas)... The stink :urff: (and when I wanted to pour it into the sink, it covered me with foam :roll: )

how the hell can beer get expired? :eek:
Milk shake, soup, rolo yogurt dessert (whatever that may be) I can understand, but for the love of God Z how can you forget about beer?

How do you drink bear, btw? :eek:

@Christophe: Don't drink beer myself, but it was one of those plastic bottles of Stella they gave away some years ago. If they didn't give it away for free no-one would have ever had it, I guess :lol:
