Best Before - More Signs You're in the VI
We've been neglecting the blog. We know. And I know this is a little boring since the subject is repetitive of a recent post, but here it is anyways. A few more signs you're living in the VI:
You're drinking a soda that expires in 3 days. You checked the date because it doesn't taste very fresh or fizzy.
You've been served multiple beers in a restaurant with a "best when served before" date of a month or two ago.
When cleaning out the refrigerator at work, you and a coworker check some coolwhip. It expires last August, but she just bought it last week.
You've actually seen expired boxes of cereal.
You don't bother participating in the grocery store's "we'll give you $1 for every expired item you find" game, because it just isn't that challenging. Besides, if they removed all the expired items from the shelves, they'd be pretty bare.
You go to the pharmacy to buy new cough drops, because yours have melted to the paper wrappers. You buy the kind which are individually separated by plastic with a tinfoil backing that you can punch the cough drop through. It's obvious the cough drops were sitting upright, as the bottom half have melted down. They're stuck to the tinfoil. Expiration date? this month.
Real milk - it's hard to find and it doesn't last long. Might as well stick to the reconstituted stuff, or the boxed soy milk that doesn't have to be chilled until it's opened.
You keep vitamins in your office so that they're in climate control 5 days a week. The ones at home discolor, like the Valentine's Day sweet tarts did. (they still taste good though!)
Your freezer is full of foods you wouldn't have ever thought needed help keeping fresh.
You go to Las Vegas for about 40 hours for a friend's wedding. You spend almost 2 of those hours in Target. The Hershey kisses you bought melt within 10 minutes of taking them out of the refrigerator. And your friend who went to DC for the long weekend also spent 2 hours in Target. And your friend had a 5 day weekend because she works for the local government - they get Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Monday off from work. Sometimes you wonder why you work for the feds.
Well, my nearly expired soda is finished, so it's back to work for me! Carnival is coming up soon so hopefully we'll get better about posting so you can share in our adventures!
