So many people interpret "best before" as "poisonous as hell after". Look at it, smell it, taste (a little bit of) it. If it passes all three, still perfect to eat.
Well, I store my food as recommended and treat the best before as written above. If stored in suboptimal conditions for extended time, most bets regarding the best before are off anyways.
There is still hope, it's Best by, not Use by

Until its not
Be mindful of perishables left out of the fridge for a long time. Most of the time it is fine but in some cases it can cause illness.

That is only what the Canadians release to the outside world. They have a strategic maple syrup reserve.
I love that this is a real thing 😄
Goddamned Canadian maple syrup cartel.
Actually, I think they identify more as a Maple Mafia..
Big Maple!
But is it October 2, or February 10?!?
Both
All is possible with the power of maple
TBF tho it doesn’t really matter because either way it won’t go out of date in 14000 years
It's February 15th, 2010 at 14:41.
I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).
It's a Saturday.
Real downer on the start of the weekend.
Yep, my immediate thought was, how the hell would you know it works?
Bro probably to account for leap Thursday's. We have one every ~28k years to keep in alignment with the true solar week.
Took me longer than it should have to realise this was a joke.
That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it's most definitely wrong.
public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) => "saturday";I also calculated it, his result checks out.
Don't be ridiculous, that would never pass QA.
But this one will. Joy for years to come:
what an optimistic date for our demise.
Nothing left to do but play football.

Wilddddd. That was just crazy.
Glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I never expected such a thing from a sports reporting site.
I never knew of the existence of this story. Truly astounding.
Best by ≠ Expiration date
It's the truth, and I'm tired pretending it's not.
It's just not in its best condition.
Another 720000 years before expiry.
1441 is most likely the time stamp sorry guys...
(Not sure if Canada follows US or internal date format)
Canadian here. We're not sure either.
Slashes mean whatever american abomination

You cut me deep, real deep.
