When Does It Go Bad

When Does It Go Bad, When to keep and when to toss your favorite foods. We’ve all heard tales of the Twinkie that would survive (as fresh as the day it was made) into the next millennium, but most food, fortunately, does not have quite that long a shelf life (how long do Twinkies really last?). Confused about what to keep and when to toss? Here is a guide to the lifespan of some of the foods currently sitting in your refrigerator or on pantry shelves.twinkie shelf life 25 days,

Store bought bread lasts about week at room temperature, As I had mentioned in a past post, our local bread outlet doubled their prices, due to the rising gas prices. My girlfriend had suggested hitting our local Kroger, which can be a goldmine of deals at the end of the day, for my bread needs. Recently they announced though, that they are now shutting down our Kroger because they were not getting the business that they needed. This not only stinks because of the bread factor, but also because it was the quick place I could run into and get a gallon of milk or the once missing ingredient for our dinners. Kroger- you will be missed on our side of town!

+USDA Mayonnaise Two Months


+USDA Mayonnaise Two Months
 +USDA Mayonnaise Two Months, Best Foods/Hellmann's Mayo doesn't have an expiration date. It has a "Best If Used By" date, which is roughly based on how long it can sit sealed on a grocery store shelf before a critical mass of customers purchasing it will start complaining the mayo went bad too quickly. That critical mass is pretty low, because Best Foods is extremely reputation conscious when it comes to their brands. I'd have no worries opening a jar of Best Foods mayo with a 4/10 date today, or even next April. Once you open that jar, though, the printed date becomes completely meaningless.

Alec baldwin "rude, thoughtless little pig"


Alec baldwin "rude, thoughtless little pig"
Alec baldwin "rude, thoughtless little pig", Being a parent is such a hard job, as Alec Baldwin is slowly learning; there's an impossibly fine balance between guiding your children to achieve the best they can and shrieking "You rude thoughtless little pig" at them in answerphone messages.Ever since Alec Baldwin's angry ranting message to his daughter Ireland was splashed around the world last week, Baldwin has been doing the best he can to try and reverse what appears to be the most spectacular celebrity custody suicide in history. And Alec Baldwin has done this by going onto his website to explain that all parents, at one point or another, call their child's answerphone and bellow "You have insulted me for the last time! I'm gonna STRAIGHTEN YOUR ASS OUT!" at them. And who are we to disagree with the man who played the Fat Controller in a Thomas The Tank Engine movie once?
