    Actual food? Probably yogurt at like one or two months. It had been sealed up until then.

    I’ve had table syrup that was at least 4 years past the expiration (it actually still had the aunt Jemima on the bottle is how old it was).

    A few days ago I finished some baking powder and my partner brought a big bottle home and I was like “oh it’s okay that stuff doesn’t expire!” Then I looked at the previous container I had and found out it had, in fact, expired in 2017. Don’t think it affected my baking though.

    I mostly just eat stuff without looking at the dates unless it smells bad or is moldy.

      Syrup I always thought was like honey. It comes from tree sap and that can even be fermented.

      Aunt Jemima be like “I’m still here, critics!”
