Use By = Unsafe to eat. Can make you sick or even kill you. Best Before = Tastes funny. Found a bag of crisps(chips) with a Best Before of about two years ago. Tasted horrible, but not unsafe to eat. Although I do take some Use By dates as a guide only. Eating yoghurt within 4-5 days of the use by is usually ok.

2 year old gone off crisp?! Anyway, I just don't think I've seen a product with both dates on!

  Found at the back of kitchen cupboard. I was curious as to how bad a sealed packet of crisps 2 years out of date would taste.

    What did they taste like and what was the flavour?

      Interestingly they were slightly soft, you could still snap the crips in half., but the cheese and onion flavour seemed to hold up. I'm guessing the bags are not air tight seals over that length of time.
