Expiration Dates

I've used eggs months after the expiration date. I only use them in cooking, so they last a long time. If they were really bad, they'd start to smell, which has never happened to me, and I've yet to get sick, so it's all good.

Maybe i'm just really ignorant but it was two in the morning, my head was throbbing and the pharmacy was closed. Oh well.

I used to work in a pharmacy, and the pharmacist told me medicine is good for a year after the expiration. Expiration dates on drugs assume that the drugs were stored in the worst possible conditions (too hot or cold). At least with over the counter pills, they don't go bad, they just lose their potency. We used to stock up on Tylenol and the like when they'd get marked down for being close to expiring.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
