The 18 month-old soda
 

Yesterday, I was thirsty, and I found a can of Diet Mountain Dew in the back of the refridgerator (I didn't want to wait to chill a can of Coke, or anything), so I drank that...I completly forgot I had anything like that to drink in the fridge, so when I opened it, I thought about seeing how long it's been there by checking the "Best taste" date on the bottom of the can, and it read "JAN 20 2003"...

I drank it anyway, and aside from it was diet, I didn't taste anything that was wrong with it (Still carbonated too)... :D

To be honest, it shouldn't taste any different.
That whole born on date crap is just that.....crap.

A couple years ago in 8th grade, some Korean kid brought in some Toll House cookies or something for our class that supposivly expired a year or two ago, but still tasted fine (Luckily no mold, or anything)... :rolleyes: :D

Just make sure your women were "born on" at least 18 years ago;)

18 years or 18 months?
women are like a fine bottle of wine. they get popped after 15 or so years and after that they spoil. im sorry that was horrible.

Man, you need ice over there pretty bad. I suggest an ice cube tray.

The dates printed on the can or most food products are the "sell by" date. The store must sell that product by the date printed.

My friend's grandma kept and old unopened can of Pepsi dating back to the 1970s and I accidentally drank it...

Kinda flat..but nothing less

i had an unopened can of coke sitting on top of my stereo for about 3 years
one day my stereo stopped working
i picked the stereo up to see what the matter was and a ton of coke spilled out of the vents in teh sides

the damn coke had eaten through the can and emptied into my stereo
that was scary
i haven't drunk any since that day

i wonder if coke would have replaced my stereo if i'd complained

replaced ?
If you live in the US you could sue them and make a living of it :p

ok i've heard of coke deteroirating teeth, but metal?? :igor:

Try leaving a copper based coin in a glass of coke overnight, Shiny shiny shiny by the morning, leave it in for a bit longer, melty melty melty

yeah, but seeing as i was the one stupid enough to leave a can of coke on my stereo for years, it is partly (if totally) my fault that it happened and i wouldn't feel right suing
see? that's why i'm a canadian and now an american

Hey you got scruples, we don't allow that here!:D

Mas Tequila!

I once left a tangerine I didn't eat in the sun over summer and it went as hard as a rock.

Me and my mate blue it up with a firecracker then shot it on the road. Ah, blissful immaturity. :D

Coke is acidic...Leave something acidic on something for long enough, and it just might start to deteriorate the object and eat it's way through... ;)

Bile is acidic...Still wanna keep your digestive stomach? :p

Replace with "blew"...

And I won't even get into "My mate and I"... :rolleyes: :D

Not always true, because I once drank a 2 year old can of Coke, which I thought would be the same and fine to drink, but it turns out it tasted different, and tasted like an Italian soda called Brio. I liked it. :)

So what's the problem?:p

Bile is alkaline, which means it's basic; not acidic.

I've got this jug of cranberry juice
been sitting on a shelf for over 4 years
Lid on, sealed tight
has only lost about half its volume so far

I got a 20 year old bottle of Scotch. Does this mean its no good?:cry:

There is stuff sitting in the back of my refrigator, I don't even know how old it is. :D

That funky taste might be some of the aluminum that the acid has eaten through. It adds a nice flavor to it. Thats why I like aluminum cans over plastic bottles for soda. It adds flavor.

Umm...pop cans are all sprayed with a protective coating to prevent the acid from reacting with the aluminum.

cabo --> no that makes it better. ;)

well then the special coating adds flavor.

It does actually.

I can't say the same about 20 month old Hi-C. Grainy cough medicine anyone?

Damn, that's got to be some strong shit.

Let's find out:igor:

I'm in.

Have a drink on me boys!

"You boys been sippin' some of grandpa's cough syrup?"
