    I like my potato chips and Cheetos stale as by opening bag leaving out for a week more or less. Am I the only one with this preference. Also what does this have to do w/ a "software developer's life" other than we have to eat.

    Yes. Stale chips are...ugh... OTOH, last week I also finished a carton of eggs that had apparently expired in early September. Cooked them for breakfast last weekend - I couldn't tell the difference. I also have sour cream in the fridge right now with an expiration date of April 2022--I removed the seal only in September, I think, had some then, and yesterday again. Tasted perfectly fine to me.

        Yes. I'm not even sure leaving a chips bag open a month would make them go stale in Denver. An open soft drink, on the other hand, will go flat in less than an hour.

              I leave peppridge farm cookies unwrapped for a day because they're too crunchy. Other than that, no.

                  With eggs put them in a cup of water, if they float, DON'T use them. If they sink, they're okay.

                  I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                    I think those dates are for when the plastic starts leeching into the water.

                        I don't recall ever saying: that's nice and stale ... unless I was making bread crumbs.

It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

                              The bottle is formed by the water being injected cold in the plastic mold, so I thing the leeching starts much earlier.

                                  There are around 8 billion people on earth, and I guess you are the only one who has this specific preference.

                                    Are they actually "stale"? Or perhaps just that they have absorbed a bit of moisture? Or dried out a bit more perhaps since it might depend where you live.
