Had a quart of a commercial brand liquid smoke I bought back in the early '90s -- just threw away what was left of it last year.

Mother-in-law always kept gardens and canned and froze a lot of stuff. After she passed back in the late '90s we cleaned out her huge old chest type deep freezer and found packages of stuff down near the bottom dated as early as the mid-'50s.

When we were kids hunting on my great uncle's farm up in the panhandle we found some canned stuff from the 30s in a root cellar on the old homestead. My dad opened them and they still smelled and looked good but we didn't eat them.

Ha, that's what garndmas do. That is why I go root to the bottom every time the grandma I live with sends me to get something from the freezer.

I had some20lb bags of rice in my utility room that go back to 2010. Last year the drain pipe from my kitchen sink disconnected and as a result dripped water thru the sub flooring for a few weeks before we caught it. I didn't realize the rice had got wet until about 2 months ago my wife opened up her box of laundry detergent on the basement floor and it had several rice weevils in it. Started looking around and there were hundreds of them around the rice bags. Ended up throwing out about 100 pounds of rice and bombing the basement to kill them off.

I hoped I never had to eat hat rice after it was about 7 years old but I wasn't going to throw it out thinking it was still sealed dry in its bag. Never know when the apocalypse would hit

Got some Wild turkey 100 proof, tax stamp on cork says 1963 does that count? I do use it for medicinal purposes quite regularly.

Geno, just last week I had some Japanese tea and thought the taste, while OK, was a bit off. Checked the tin. 'Best used by' date was 2001...

You need chickens or pigs to use up that kind of stuff.

Isn't the expiration date on anything 100 proof basically "use before the sun burns out".

That would depend on how well the cork held up.
