a sell by date of July 1978
I don’t know if that is serious, but I did come by a jar of pickles with a 1995 date on it.

I saw a box of gelatin dessert type mix that looked straight off of Let’s Make A Deal.

I was surprised by the amount of soap, toothpaste and other non-food there was.

And dog food. People gave dog food. What’s up with that?

You can not by any paper products nor personal items w/EBT…..so I’m sure toothpaste and soap are frequent requests.
As to dog food….many are turning their pets into shelters cause they can’t afford to keep/feed them. Getting dog food from the food bank is a much better option than the shelter.

UI – YES. Potted Meat. WTF.
Also, I saw a packet of Lipton Spanish Rice that was packaging from when I was roughly 8 years old. I’m older than I look. That’s DISGUSTING.
