Um, really...REALLY old juice = /
So my girlfriend took me to this warehouse in stockton... Its one of those "we sell you all the crap the grocery stores cant sell you" Its basically old, broken/torn box goods, dented or old canned food goods, etc.
Some of the stuff is fine, I got lik some fruit snacks/gusher things for like $1 each and some cliff bars 10 for $1 because they expire this month.
Some of the stuff expires this month, next month ,but they're all boxed, some of the boxes are punctured but I'll take a good look at it just to make sure (hey im a starving college student... gotta do what i gotta do)
NOW. I saw my favorite juice, Hawaiian punch. I just grabbed it because I love it and its one of those HUGE gallons or whatever and it was $2. So I got it home put it in the fridge and I looked at the date...
"Tastes best by March 2006" What the ____ this is 2007... hahah. Um... It LOOKS fine... I took a sip of it and I'm not sure if thats how its supposed to taste or if it tastes funny. I think it tastes funny because I think that its going to. I bet if I never looked at the date I woulda though its fine but now I'm thinking twice.
The container was fine, not opened or damaged at all, just really damn old. Can I get sick of I drink juice that is supposedly really old? Its not orange juice, its mainly artificial flavors, and corn syrup. I just dont want to drink a big glass and then start puking and ____ting tomorrow morning.
Anyone got some good info on this? haha I've heard of stuff like gatorade upsetting your stomach because when the molecules get heated up they detatch from whatever and blahblah all this technical chemistry stuff I never understood.
my mom would tell me "its just $2, just throw it away and get something fresh" but you never know...

You'll be fine man. In the desert they send us all types of shif that's like 4-8 months expired. Gatorade, all types of soda, chips, snacks, everybody eats it and they're fine. They only put expiration dates on it so you buy it before the freshness "expires". Look at canned goods you can eat it years after you buy it.
