    My favorite label was the expiration date on rock salt.

      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.

      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 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.

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

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

                    I had heard that before, but didn't try it. I just live on the edge like that... :-D

                      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.
