Hey /ck/, do you know anything I can do with my 22cans of Mountain Dew?
They expire tomorrow and I'd hate to let them go to waste.

>> No.6181077

Are you friggin serious? It's sterile sugarwater, you can easily drink them probably even a year or two after they have expired by the date.

keep drinking them. The best before date is just a guideline and they should be fine for months or years afterwards.

Depends on the wording. Does it say "best by" or something similar, "sell by" or something similar, or "use by" or something similar on the packaging? They're three different things.

"Best by" and its analogues mean only that the manufacturer guarantees the flavour and potency of the packaged product up to that date.

"Sell by" and its analogues mean that the manufacturer instructs the grocery store to destroy the product if not purchased by that date.

"Use by" and its analogues are the only ones you should care about. These are governmental dates of estimated expiration beyond which the product may be unsafe to use.

Using common sense (by testing a small amount of the product, for example) before wholesale use/consumption is recommended even for products that have yet to reach any of the above dates. Produce, for example, seldom carries any of those dates, right? So we use common sense to distinguish when the stuff is still good or not.

This three sorts of dates system holds true in most countries with goverments that utilise food inspection services.

Also note that Pepsi and Coke both have the official stance that as long as the packaging/cans aren't compromised, their product will remain drinkable indefinitely.

If a ton of aluminum falls on you, you are going to be hurt or dead.

If someone uses it to make a knife and stabs you with it, then it's going to hurt and might kill you.

Drinking out of it? No problem. There is no truth to the claims of links between aluminum and Alzheimer's.

No, never. Snow avalanche may push you around and throw you against rocks at high speed, or it may cover you and suffocate or even cause hypothermia death, but it does not smash the body.

Plus surely the packed snow from an avalanche is just the same density as feathers. Verify how snow avalanches happen please; what state the snow must be in.

Yes. It tastes litterally exactly the fucking same, though. You'd never be able to tell in a blind taste test.

Le Edge Gais get the Meixcan coke cause it comes in a glass bottle and has the old, vintage label.

I hate using the word hipster, but it's just hipster coke.
