I once drank a soda that tasted funny and thought it was a problem with the booze I had mixed it with. I drank another one from the same pack the next day without booze and it still tasted funny. Looked at the bottom of the can and sure enough it had expired. I guess sometimes expiration dates are not necessarily for health reasons, but for "gonna start tasting shitty" reasons.
Myself, the wife and a few friends are now posted up in the "neutral ground" on St. Charles Street waiting on the first parade to roll by, tasty beverage in hand. The weather is nice and a decent crowd is arriving. Should be a good day.
Yesterday, 80 and sunny. Today, 26 and sleeting. And with the windchill, it feels like 13. Criminy, make up yer mind.
In my experience, this only applies to diet soda. Coke will taste like Coke for a loooong time, unless you leave a bottle in the sun or something. In the fridge, it's fine. But, Diet Coke or Coke Zero? That shit is nasty the day after expiration. Not bad for you - just the sweetener loses it's flavor. This only applies to Coke - Pepsi is nasty the day it leaves the plant.
Coke Zero and Diet Coke taste like fountain coke when the syrup runs dry. Awful. And to think they take away taste from Coke- the reason people like it- to make it healthier only nooooooope not healthier at all. And oh man did a lot of naive people in the 80's get fat from being duped by it. Still, at least palatable. FRESCA IS NOT PALATABLE. I have no clue how people can like that engine degreaser masquerading as soda. It's tastes like somebody ashed three cigarettes into a Sprite. I think Id rather die from thirst and drink it, it's the pee of the abomination.
I can do this with bread. And ramen. ANYthing dairy? Nope. It goes out on the day it is listed to expire I don't even care. Gone. Once you accidentally swallow chunky milk, never ever again.
Years ago I made the mistake of taking a bite of cereal without realizing the milk had soured. Ever since then I smell milk when I open it. Without fail. Once was all it took.
Organic milk has a bit longer expiration date than regular milk. I check the date, check my phone, and then if it's close, I make one of my kids do the sniff test. I will barf like a drunken sorostitute at the smell of bad milk.
Maybe it's my TV but Harrison Ford's eyes look coked out, now to suffer through the Boring Dead with The Wife.
Bono is a twat. I hope a stage light falls on his skull. Hell is not a river of lava, nor a tomb of sulfur. Hell is not a cold cavern removed from God's love. Hell is a doctor's waiting room with U2 blaring on the fucking radio.
I'll take this opportunity while Bette Midler sings to blow my fucking brains out. Who are they pitching to? Dumpy housewives from 1992?
I thought they were supposed to sing the songs, you know, from THIS year's nominees? What a kick in the face to all those songwriters to bring that miserable bitch to sing her bullshit song from 1989. Her and Bono should be shot into space on the nose of the fastest rocket we have. Christ, she really is the female Bono. Has her old dick in everything. During the In Memoriam I thought they were going to forget O'Toole. The greatest son of a bitch that ever son of a bitched almost had these cowards and dogs fuck him over again.
