- HWR_14 4y agoBad article title. The entire contents of the article that answers the question is: Milk, somewhat.
- zach_garwood 4y agoYeah, and the thing about bad milk is that it'll be unpalatable long before it will make you sick. Just sniff it or sip it. You will easily tell whether or not it's good to drink.
- rascul 4y agoAlso milk can go bad before the printed date even when stored properly. Or, it can last longer. As you say, the taste/smell test is best.
- denimnerd42 4y agobut don't sniff it from the carton. it always smells bad in there after you open it once due to the lid.

- ilyt 4y agoI guess you could interpret it as "follow these dates (instead of ones on the box)" but yeah, not exactly great. Otherwise quite interesting, pretty much confirms much of my suspicions based on my ignoring dates on the condiments unless they look/smell funny.
- phito 4y agoIs it just me or the title is the exact opposite of the actual content?
- sowbug 4y agoIf you read it as "which of the dates printed on food items are valid?" then maybe. I read it as "Because almost all the printed dates are invalid, it's better to use these dates instead: bread: weeks, beans: years, etc.," and I find that more a complementary fit.
