My dad texted me today asking I would eat a can of tuna that was 3 years past the expiration date. He said the can was in good shape. I told him it wouldn't be worth getting sick to save $2. My dad can't smell anymore and can barely taste anything unless it's hightly spicy, sweetened or salty. He and his cat ate the tuna. I'm expecting his cat will die, but he'll be fine after a few bottles of Pepto Bismol.

If I didn't resemble him so much I'd swear I was adopted.

So how's your dad and the cat today?

He's still alive and apparently not sick either. He said expiration dates are a scam by the government and corporations to get us to waste food. While I'm sure there's some truth to that, I wouldn't put it to the test. I only buy food I know I'll eat within a couple weeks to a month max. My dad said I'll starve during the appocalypse, which he believes is coming very soon (he's been saying that since the 1980s).
