1 Year Old Cookies

Post by JordanPlayer »

I moved with my parents into a new house a little over a year ago (July 08). Since we moved there have been a lot of boxes that I haven't unpacked because I honestly don't really use the stuff in them and want to keep my space clean-ish. Lately I have been going through the boxes just to see what is in them and combine multiple boxes/clean up the closet. Well, today when I was looking through boxes I found a package of Chewy Chips a Hoy cookies that look like this:

The bag has this sticky label so you can reseal the package after you eat some... and apparently I had eaten some, packed the bag up, and forgot about it for 1 year. So I decided that it would be interesting to taste a cookie to see how they held up after that long after being opened/resealed. The cookies tasted almost exactly like brand new ones! :lol: I honestly couldn't tell at all that they were a year old. Right now I'm currently eating the rest of them and haven't gotten sick; thought you guys might find that interesting.

That's amazing! I would think that after being opened, they would have died after a few weeks. I guess when they designed that seal, they did a good job. (or there are A LOT of preservatives in those suckers)

That is so incredibly scary to me. Crap like that is why my diet is mostly organic or low ingredient count foods. I honestly am afraid of what we eat nowadays. I swear you've just scared me awake for another two hours.

Wow, I've never heard of someone who was afraid of cookies before.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

I've known for years that M&M's can stay good for a year in various crevasses. It's the candy shell.

I had a friend in middle school who discovered some soda in his grandmother's pantry that hadn't been in production since the 1970s. He said it tasted just fine.
