A company was giving away
hundreds of at home COVID PCR tests
for free
because they were past
the expiry date.
A loved one knew
many of the expiry dates
had been extended.
He ensured these had been extended
and picked up the COVID test kits.
Expiry dates can be
VERY real.
If you eat the product
after the expiry date,
you might become seriously ill.
But many expiry dates
are flexible.
They might be the date
the manufacturers
guarantee the vitamin content
is valid by, for example.
Or they might be a marketing tactic,
such as
in the case of
Twinkies
and many canned goods,
which don’t truly have
ANY expiry date.
Check the REAL expiry date
before tossing items
(especially those pricy
COVID test kits).
