Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 05, 2022

There is no such thing as a best-if-sold-by label. It’s either sell-by-date or best-if-used-by. I also found an article talking about how there’s no expiration date on mini chews, just a coded date (probably when manufactured). Also, the mini chews were introduced in 1998 and it seems that they would last longer than just six months.

That’s what happens when you get candy from someone who hasn’t handed out candy in 25 years. As much of a revolting development as in this comic from the referenced date: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/1998/06/30

yuck! 30 yr old candy?! welp, i say candy is candy.

yup, years old candy. :p

Ima go with 6/10 and forget about this arc

Despite being expired, at least they got candy

Found a box of Cook and Serve sugar-free chocolate pudding in the back of my Dad’s pantry selves. The expiration date was over 5 years ago. I made it. God rest my Dad’s merry soul. Do you have any idea what funerals cost these days?

….he found ’em in a box up in his attic…..

Must be an old candy. I’ve never heard on those before until now.

Wait – I LIKE Charleston Chews.

Also, what are those sound effects? NYOMP?

More like 24 year old candy.

The boys have been had!

That is before I was born
