Am I the Only One?

Ok folks. I know that we have all gone to the grocery store and purchased items that has an expiration date. Just a word to the wise......the expiration date is on the package for a reason.

The Analyst hasn't yet grasped that concept. When I purchase things like eggs, milk, bacon, sausage, etc. I am very conscience of the expiration date. If an item is ONE DAY past the date....it's outta here!

Well, in going through the frig the other day I noticed that some sausage I had was 2 weeks past the expiration date!!! Oh No!!! They had to go! They were still in the original package unopened so I threw them into the garbage quickly.

He goes down stairs this morning to make some sausage for breakast and immediately starts screaming, "DIVA!!!! Where is the sausage?"

"Ummmm, I threw them out."

"Why on earth did you do that?"

"Maybe because it was starting to turn onto a science project."

"It was still in the package though."

"What?"

"It was still on the package. It was still good."

I just stood there looking blank faced for a moment. I blinked my eyes several times in total disbelief. Then I said very calmly, "They started making plastic wraping that prevents food from spoiling now?"

Needless to say he had bacon for breakfast.

Am I the only one that pays attention to that little date on the package?
