[poll] who is right in this argument, me or wife?

[SandEagle]

so we were cleaning up some cabinets and found like 15 canned foods that had gone anywhere from 1 to 2 years past their expiration dates. wife asked me to put them in a box and place them out next to the trash in case any one wants them. weird, never heard of that. she said she saw some show and people do it all the time. instead i ended up tossing them in the garbage as i could not in good conscience allow anyone to eat anything i wouldn't eat myself. she was upset that i threw them away. was i right or was i right?

As long as the can is not damaged or bulging, it is good to eat for many years after the voluntary expiration date. I eat stuff 5+ years past the expiration without hesitation. Researchers found 100 year old canned food still edible.

Nope. Just been married for awhile.

Canned food actually can last a long time as it's kept in an oxygen free environment. Ie the can isn't damaged. The expiry dates are really only there because consumers expect them.

So the wife is correct. Though she did marry SandEagle so that makes me question her senses.

This revelation is still mind-boggling.

Neither. You should have eaten them yourselves. Otherwise, your wife is closer to right.

That first statement is as true as your post is well written.

Pics of the wife?

:thumbsup: This is always the correct answer.

 

[nickbits]

Neither. Food was still good and you could have eaten it yourselves. Failing that, trash was the right move.

 

[brianmanahan]

tbh i would divorce you over this

[Rakehellion]

The food is still edible.
People who eat free food from the trash aren't that picky.

Was given ration packs that were 2 years out of date... i am fine

 

[BoomerD]

Even when you're right...you're always wrong when it comes to the wife.

However, in this case...she actually IS right.

 

[RampantAndroid]

Canned food past date is usually safe anyway. They just put a date on for liability reasons.

Also, wife is always right.

 

[PliotronX]

I voted for the wife without reading, I'm sorry. But for your own good, she's always right, trust me.
