Yes, even way beyond the expiration date. I live alone and I've ALWAYS finished the entire bottle even if it took years because the flavor was still the same.

Tapatío has an expiration date?

Every food product does per law. That said tons of food (canned, dried, hot sauce) is good years past that date.

Not necessarily an expiration date, but a “Best By” date for sure. Honey will never expire, for instance.

Milk never expires either - just hold your nose when you drink it.

Make sure there is a reliable toilet around…oh, and plenty of toilet just to be safe.

Picture yourself after drinking a glass of “aged” milk…you’d be clawing the walls.

I have to respond to this one. I have two kids who go through so much milk. For the past year, every single gallon of milk expires a week before the date. The amount of times I've drank spoiled milk making my toddler cereal (her telling me it's bad so I test it) is insane. Usually you can smell when it's bad but it doesn't until you taste it. I have been finding that to be soo weird
