Can you imagine what the local grocery store would smell like if
nothing changes? I mean, if nothing changes, then when I go to
the store in a year, there will be milk there that is 12 months
past it’s expiration date. God, will that reek.

When my fiancee was helping me move out of my own apartment into her place, I was cleaning out the fridge. I turned to her and said "How come there’s no year on the expiry date on these" while holding up a jug of once-was-milk.

She still let me move in. I’ve never been sure why.
