If the "Best by:" date on my ramen is 10/23/04, can I still eat it?

[Orsorum]

or will I croak?

 

[Mik3y]

eat it! eat it! eat it! eat it! eat it!

 

[cerebusPu]

[Adica]

As long as you see no worms or flour bugs, you are fine..EAT IT!! or find $.17 and buy a fresh one.

 

[Trogdor91]

BEST by, not will die if digested after.

 

[darkeneddays]

Don't cook it, just eat it like a candy bar right out the pack

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

No. Ramen spoils...

$0.17? Where do you shop? Here Ramen costs $0.10. And yes, "Best by" means very little. Eat it.

even $.10 is a ripoff if you can find a sale...

I have posted ~5 "Should I eat it" threads and everyone tells me that I shouldn't, but I have everytime... and I am still alive. I just think back to people ~100 years ago. They ate stuff that was like weeks old, without refrigeration and they survived... sometimes.

Only Ramen and cockroaches will survive the coming nuclear holocaust. If you don't eat it the cockroaches will. :shocked:

 

[FoBoT]

it won't hurt you to eat it - just might taste a bit stale.

 

[TitanDiddly]

don't forget twinkies. Twinkies will survive anything.

 

[BurnItDwn]

It will be ok, however, it will not be the Best .

 

[thomsbrain]

i'm sure you will be fine

Eat it, my brother in the military ate an old K-ration from WWII that was sealed and presearved as a demonstration. For those that don't know a K-ration was your grandpa's version of an MRE. All that aside, go on and eat it. A best by date means it wont spoil, but I just won't tase very fresh after that date. A sell by date is differant, most items (except milk and unsealed cheese) can be eaten a few days after the date passes (3 days).
