Okay to eat?

[Juked07]

I have a dozen or so eggs that expired 1/8. Should I throw them out? Is there some way to check if they're still good?

 

[JMapleton]

You can eat them if you like food poisoning.

 

[theflyingpig]

drop them in a cup of water. If they float, don't eat them. I could be lying though.

 

[KevinCU]

Don't be a pussy, eat them raw.

 

[Shawn]

It is extremely likely that they are fine.

 

[Locut0s]

1/8!?! If you don't mind getting sick sure. Eggs are one of those foods I wouldn't push too far. They aren't like milk, bread or cheese where you know almost right away if they are good to go or not.

 

[SneakyStuff]

Eggs are dirt cheap compared to food poisoning. (which I just had the pleasure of having :disgust

THROW OUT!!!

 

[JohnCU]

i would throw that shit out for real

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

One way to find out. Are you able to post from the toilet? If so, eat and report back.

 

[cKGunslinger]

Take the egg, place it in your palm horizontally. Squeeze your hand shut, trying to crush the egg.

If it breaks, well, that'd be weird, cause I think it almost physically impossible.

 

[erub]

I've eaten expired eggs (weeks). Still here.

You'll never know unless you try.

 

[Leros]

A dozen eggs are 1.50. Don't risk it. Throw them at some emo kids and buy some more.

Try again, unless your first attempt kills you.

It's kind of implied...bah, nevermind.

You seem to know my catchphrase. Are you a fan?

 

[Cyco]

My advice to anybody that isn't sure if they should eat someting or not is: That which doesn't kill you...may just make you have the runs. Drink plenty of liquids.

The eggs are most likely fine. The number of uninformed food phobics on ATOT is legendary. Da Chef has spoken so, let it be written so, let it be done.

 

[LS21]

ive eaten tons of "old" eggs no problem

thing with me is... eggs either last a few days, or 2 months...

Agreed. Crack em and if they smell, don't eat.
We don't even keep eggs in the egg crate, just in the fridge's egg dish. I couldn't even tell you when our eggs are supposed to "expire." Been doing it that way for years and we're still here.
