I cannot convince my wife that the whole “best by” crap is largely an attempt to increase purchases.

She also goes by the “best by” date on sealed bottled water.

I’m like, smell it, if it doesn’t smell bad, taste it. If you feel the urge to ask someone else if it smells/tastes bad, it needs to go. If it’s not so full of death that you can’t sense it, your stomach acid will take care of it.
