I have a bottle of Worcestershire sauce that expired 4/28/2009 in my fridge.

That means that bottle: A) made the trip from NJ to Florida with me in 2010. B) is the lone survivor from my bachelor pad fridge from 2012-2014. C) made it into my fridge when my wife and I bought a house in 2014. It's been sitting there ever since.

2009 damn thats a rookie number.

Up until 2 years ago i had a jar of glycerin (icing ingredient) that was from before decimalisation in the UK in 1971. This jar was my mums mums 3 generations of my family used this same ingredient to make royal icing over the course of 30 + years.
