Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 10, 2015

“S[m]ell”: just a one-letter difference.

They’ve learned to do that after one swig of “blinky” milk.

Don’t get me started on those dates.I picked up a jug of distilled water the other day.Its label had two things that made me laugh -a sell-by date, and a disclaimer saying it was gluten free.

I keep wondering how we survived our childhood when ketchup and mayo just lasted until they were gone!

‘Sell by’ and ‘Good Until …’ are too different things. Usually, the ‘sell by’ is about a week in advance of the ‘good until…’ date. But ‘smell by’ is just as good ! ! !

I am amazed at how long food lasts nowadays. I remember that milk lasted about a week, and white bread was a brick in about 3 days, moldy in a week, etc,etc.I just have to wonder how we can ever rot upon death after consuming all the preservatives that we do.

he must have watched GMA this morning with the segment about expiration dates

Is this comic today a rerun? It seems like I saw it before.

When I was a kid, mustard, catsup, pickles, soy sauce, etc were never kept in the fridge and nobody died of food poisoning.

After eons of allergies my sniffer doesn’t work very well, so I make my hubby sniff stuff. I can tell by the face he makes…and stuff is usually bad.
