Funny story.
So my grandparents used to keep alcohol in the back of a wardrobe. The kinds of things that either were a special present like Champaign they got for an anniversary or just stuff they didn’t really like, and they’d stay in the wardrobe for ages, and my grandparents would end up giving a bottle every so often to my parents for one reason or another. Perhaps dad fixed something in the house or perhaps mum took them out for a nice meal and paid for it, etc. Anyway, so my parents were around there the other week doing odds and ends for my nan since grandad died a few years ago, and she gave them a bottle of Cava from the wardrobe. They bring it home and drink it. It’s really good. A quote from my mum: “you could taste the quality, it was a really really nice bottle”. For some reason they look at the back of the bottle, and notice it came from Somerfield, and wonder how long it had been in the wardrobe since that chain of supermarket doesn’t exist anymore, and then they find an expiry date printed on the back.
December, 1987.

Technically the bread itself isn't old, but part of it is. The local bakery in my town has a sourdough starter that's 102 years old. It was quite funny when they held a 100th birthday party for it two years ago. (≧∇≦*)

About 2 years ago me and my family went to an Amish store and found general mills cereal bars, the old ones with the dehydraded frosting... It turns out the box we ate expired back in 2009... It was still good and fresh for some reason...

2 RepliesI don't really think alcohol and cheese should count since being old is part of what makes it what it is. Other than that the oldest thing I've eaten was some long expired Gatorade powder that was about 4 or 5 years old. Stuff make me vomit after football practice.

alcohol tends to get better with age most of the time... oldest thing I ate was an old 2012 MRE, was it still good? Yes, those things can last 10-20 years depending on if you keep em in a freezer, preservatives in those scare me...

I do wonder what they put in it to keep it fresh for that long. Did it even have bubbles anymore?

Champagnes and wines you should be ok, but honestly should have been kept at a cooler temp, and laying down to keep the cork wet. But, you should be ok with it if you're brave enough to dare a sip of it. From that time period, it should still be a glass bottle, I'd try it. If it were a plastic bottle of anything, not a chance. I've seen plastic caps dry rot in a few years before. Any old things I've found in my cabinets, I throw away. I may have bought them with the intent of making something with them years ago, but if it's past the EXP Date, I chuck it. I've had food poisoning from stuff that should have been ok from restaurants before, so I don't chance it. Everything I have today is no older than Fall of last year at the most.
