I take it you don't have insurance either so us tax payers would have to foot your stomach pump.

OH NOES AN ER TRIP!!!!

Fool.

EDIT: Why am I even replying to him? Must... resist...

You guys crack me up. There is no way that an expired box of hamburger helper would send anyone to the ER to have their stomach pumped. :laugh:

My concern was that it wouldn't taste right, not that it would make me sick; I knew it wouldn't do that.

The hamburger helper was fine, couldn't even tell it was old.

Thanks for the update! :beer:

Dry items can go bad and change overtime.

Like I said though WHY RISK IT...not that it's definitely going to happen. Seriously, the flavor has got to be off and if the shelf life was longer they'd have a longer expiration.

However most above are probably relying on their moms to still make this for them.

Guarantee you it'll be fine. I just ate an expired box yesterday.

That's not entirely true. The packaging itself can degrade over time as well as lead to moisture migration which in turn leads to microbial growth. Granted, the product is dried and has a low water activity it would take a major moisture migration issue to cause any of the aforementioned.

The expiration date is there for a reason!

 

[alkemyst]

I haven't eaten this human dog food in a long time, but if the pasta is just in the box as typical with pastas...it can spoil / mold with just the humidity.

The big question though is why is risking this over what amounts to a dollar in food product worth it?

 

[Nitemare]

it has so many preservatives and sodium that it should be fine for another 10 years

 

[wiredspider]

I just made some expired hamburger helper, it was fine.

Yeah... but in this case, it's probably Lupus.
