I just ate (well, half of them) some cup noodles that were 8 months past their expiration date. I checked the box after they started tasting like shit and when the "cheese" was building up horribly in my cheeks.
And there was this one time when I almost ate a peanut butter sandwich and the PB was 5 years past its expiration date.

So tahts something I don't want to remember...eugh...what about the rest of ot?
The date on the box/jar is the "sell by date" or the "best used before" date. Lots of stuff is still usually safe after it has "expired". Sometimes LONG after it has "expired". Now, you probably don't want to take too many chances with stuff like milk or meat. But other stuff typically lasts long after the date on the box. Dry goods like noodles are an example. Peanut butter lasts a long-ass time as well. And stuff that's highly acidic like catsup and mustard too. Hell, I don't even keep my catsup refrigerated after opening the jar, and I've eaten old-ass catsup that was more than a year out of date (that is to say, it was sitting in my cupboard OPENED and UNREFRIGERATED for more than a year).I just ate (well, half of them) some cup noodles that were 8 months past their expiration date.
