Ive got a Egg Omlet MRE from 1986. . . . A buddy sent it to me on a dare to eat it, Its been kept in a cool place for the last 15 years that he had it, and since two months ago when he sent it to me on a "I dare ya to eat this" bet. . .
Still havent bit the bullet. . . . anyone want to help a guy out? Will ship for free! Only caveat is you have to post up a review with pics! (his caveat to me!)
I'd probably eat it, long as it didn't look or smell rotten when I opened it.
Certainly not the oldest, but the other day I ate a Hersheys bar I found in my shop that was over a year past the exp date on the wrapper. Just a regular bar from the store, not an MRE bar.
If I was closer, I would taste it.

I had to laugh as I typed that title... I can only imagine the possible reponses.
I'm sitting here at my desk snacking on a can of Armour Potted Meat on Saltines. (No I didn't lose a bet, I like this stuff)
This particular can was rotated out of my GHB a while back, and has been sitting in my desk for at least a few months. I noticed the "Best By Date" is 07-11-10, which concerns me not at all. Looks fine, tastes fine, smells fine... No worries.
I started to wonder what is the oldest food I have ever eaten? I know I've eaten a canned ham that was a year or so past the date, and maybe a prehistoric MRE, but they don't really count as food anyway.
My Mom has, in her basement, some green beans that were canned in mason jars back in the 60's... They look as fresh as if they were canned yesterday... I'm thinking about popping open a jar and trying them. If I do, I'll get some pics, and post them.... If I survive.
The 12 Gauge... It's not just for rabbits anymore.
It's kinda funny how some topics get repeated. One Colony, One mind
Here's a link to a previous discussion on the subject, but since we have so many new members since then, it's a great time for a bump...
