  • U can just buy the food you need in the day

  • Brainpop is better...

  • meat is all what tastes better on the best before dates. are you forgetting we use to ( and in some areas still do ) eat meat raw from the animal. the only things that our bodies have not fully adapted to yet is dairy products :)

  • I have wondered why some items have expiry dates on them, like vinegar and Tums, I used to wonder about pop/soda but thee was a can of Pepsi in my fridge from 1989 till 2005 as an experiment and kinda as a joke, the contents eventually ate through the can on the bottom, modern cans do it even faster, especially if they have been in a cooler full of water for a day or two.

  • very helpful thanks

  • Hell no, I don't eat anything within a week of the expiry date. That's just gross.

  • @candiigurl44 I wondered the same thing, the Ranch tasted like Elmer's Glue. Though I suppose by this point you have discovered this by yourself.

  • aughh!!!!! my stomach hurts and i didnt went to work yesterday and i probably will not go in 3 days!!!!! this video sucksss!!!!!! plus i will have to clean my own toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what if theres salad dressing that is about 7 months after the date ? it says " best before "

  • lol
