You haven't had huge bowl of cereal with honey on it for a late night snack in a loooong time.

You chose the larger cereal bowl from the cupboard and filled it to capacity.
It was so good, you greedily chose to have another 1/2 bowlful.

You chose ...


poorly.

Uh-oh, what happened?

I suspect he found out what was in the bottom of the box....

How'd the baby mice taste?

Rats!

Or he's spending time on the toilet.

If you found it in the back of the pantry, did you check the "use by" date? When we moved from the house up on the hill, we found some Campbells soup cans that were over 10 years old. She wouldn't let me donate to the homeless. Wives are such soreheads.

Hehehee......reminds me of a story. I manage a 62' yacht and usually the owner runs it himself, but I still do the maintenance on it on a regular basis. Once in a while I run it as Captain on a trip for him. Well the last trip I ran it his wife bought a case of 24 bottles of this Grapefruit beer, Sands Raddler, it's more like a wine cooler.......I think they drank 2-3 out of it. Well then they were getting divorced. Well it's been in my stateroom (bedroom) on the floor for like 2-3 years, along with some 12 packs of coke, diet coke etc.......So he asks me to run the boat to bimini, Bahamas like 2 years later with his 2 GF. So we run it over there, and all this stuff is in my way on my stateroom floor.....I pour the cokes down the drain.....and decide to give this case of beer to the dockhand kid who's like 21 years old.........It's been expired for 2 years but who knew beer went bad.......

The kid comes to me the next day in a heavy Bahamian accent........MAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN you almost killed me. I asked him why? He goes, that beer you gave me expired 3 years ago. I drank 6 of them and got the worst case of alcohol poisoning ever and thought I was going to die......LOLOLOLOLOL

My grandfather died several years ago at 94. My brother and I cleared out his basement. A filing cabinet contained11 and 1/2 bottles of Old Crow. We split one that night,and divided the rest for posterity.

Few years back was clearing out my parents kitchen and actually found a can of Campbells soup that rattled... no holes or rust on it just a rattle inside when you shook it.....

Still want to know what was in that shredded wheat

When I was a kid the Marines from Camp Lejeune and Army guys from Fort Bragg would come down to our business on the Outer Banks and bring MCI rations. (This was during Vietnam- They were still mostly called "C-rations", but before MREs that came later in 1981).
Anyway, that stuff was pretty good. We would put some of the meals on our shrimp boats and other work boats and it tasted mighty fine on a wet cold night. My favorite was either the Spaghetti w/ Meatballs or the chicken.
So in cleaning out the last of my late Dad's garage attic boxes last year would you believe I found two MCI meal packages. We sat down last Christmas and opened a few of the cans. It is safe to say that they were out of date but no cans were swelled so we used the smell test.
The crackers were still tasty but the bread had some odor so we passed on that.
The chocolate disc still tasted like it did when I was a kid.



A small story about MCI meals-

In 1973, Army Colonel Henry Moak was issued a MCI ration during his stay in Vietnam. Included in the MCI ration was a can of pound cake, manufactured in 1969. He kept the unopened can and vowed to eat the pound cake when he retired from the Army. On July 24, 2009, with news media and dignitaries in attendance, Moak opened the forty-year-old can and ate the contents. He noted that the pound cake still looked and smelled like fresh pound cake...

It was unopened and well within the ' use by ' date.

No special surprises in the bottom.

Just plenty of fiber. Lots of fiber.

Ah, Colon Blow X's 5000
