How long can sandwich meat sit in the fridge before I shouldn't make sandwiches with it anymore?
If milk smells bad but tastes fine, is it okay?
Can Jello go bad?
Yes, I'm cleaning out my fridge.
Oh, and is salami really meat or is it something else?
And should I really be paying attention to the best-before-dates on salad dressing or are they just there to make me buy more?
Does anyone really know the answers to all this kinda stuff?
You know what? I think maybe this is why Google was invented.
I'd go and surf out the answers but I'm tired. I think I'll just go and find a big green garbage bag instead.
Oh, and who put Jello in my fridge anyway?
I hate Jello.
Sigh.
Funny...
Thanks for the chuckle.
and yes... what the hell is salami anyway??

The only jello I like has vodka in in it. My kids hate Jello, too. Dates are a guideline except on milk. I think when milk gets to its date it is nasty. And when it smells bad, to me it tastes bad.

I sat in a class, well, two of them really, to be able to answer those questions to the satisfaction of the State of Texas. And I wonder why my kids think I am boring?

I have never experienced milk smelling bad and tasting fine, although if it smells bad I don't think I would try it to see how it tastes. I don't think Jello ever goes bad. Isn't it just sugar? Have fun cleaning the fridge!

The Jell-O Fairy put the Jell-O in your fridge. She visits houses every night and sticks strange gelatin molds in people's fridges.
She comes around here sometimes, I know that.
And Jell-O never ever goes bad - like diamonds, it is forever. Also shiny.
I wish that the Diamond Fairy would sub for the Jell-O one some time! ;)

First of all, who drinks the milk after they smell it and it smells bad? If it smells bad, I throw it away, I don't want to feel the chunks ewwww. And I don't know about Salami. Is it like hotdogs? I don't know.

I always smell my meat to see if I want to use it. Its so hard with turkey.
I never use milk if it smells bad. I think it taste funny.
Great list.

I think if you throw it all out, you would have room for a nice big cake. :)

Why yes, I am reading this more than two weeks after you posted. I say if the smell of the lunch meat doesn't make you recoil you can still eat it! ;)

I have tasted milk that smells bad (before the exp.date) only because I hate to throw away my hard earned money. Sometimes I buy a pint and it still goes bad before the exp. date. If it tastes fine does not have any curds I do not see anything wrong with it.
