    An almost empty jar of olives. It may be a year old.

    They're still in brine, but I think you are right. Plus, room for one more can of beer.

    I've seen olives go bad within a month or two.

    I hope a massive argument doesn't ensue over this question. Remember what happened in the name of sour cream!!!

    A small container of buttermilk. It's been in the fridge for 2 months or was that 2 years? I forget. This post was edited by Zack at October 4, 2020 2:07 PM MDT

    I just cleaned out my fridge a few weeks ago but It was salad dressing before that. It was really old and never opened.

    Don't you hate wasting like that? I do, but I'm not going to eat something that might be spoiled. Expiration dates exist for good reason!

    I do hate wasting food. I think I bought that particular kind of dressing Cos I was gonna use it for some recipe as a marinade or something and I never did. I get these ideas that I’m gonna try actually cooking then I never do lol. My salad dressings that I use for actual salad get used up in time :)

      You just threw it out without even stopping to think of me and of all the sandwiches you could have made for me with it?  You have been married to me how many times now, 7, or 17?  However many times it is, you know full well that I despise mayonnaise, and that I prefer salad dressing instead. Is there no end to how you seek to hurt me? I can’t even talk to you when you’re like this, I have to go.

    A half used jar of brown mustard that must be in the fridge for a good five years.  There is no expiration date on it, but clearly, I don't use much mustard. :)

      Lol, thank you for your answer; it made me realize that a similar question must have been posted a few weeks or months ago, because I believe I remember you having remarked about that exact same jar of mustard before.
    [listen, just to be on the safe side, you’re not planning to make any sandwiches for me anytime soon, are you?]

    Hey, if I were quitting, I'd have to give notice.  Since you're firing me without notice, I deserve severance.

      (((She’s got me over a barrel, folks, and she’s spent her entire career working for attorneys.  How in the heck do I get out of this one?  Hurry up; I can’t stall her forever! Grrrrrrr.)))


    Be right with you, Spunky Dear. I’m consulting with my advisory staff.

    BEST LEGAL ADVICE:  GIVE UP, GIVE IN AND MAIL THE CHECK.
