I just came back from a trip to China and bought some snacks back to share with friends and colleagues.

It never occurred to me to check on the expiry date since I bought them all in the airports. World class airport like Beijing and GuangZhou wouldn’t have crappy shops selling expired foodstuffs, right?

Until one of my friends called me in Yahoo Messenger just now.

SM (stand for Stupid Mouth, read the Stupid Mouth post): “RUD, did you check on the expiry date on the stuff you gave us yesterday?? It’s expired!! I’ve eaten all of them!” (greedy huh, he brought with him like a month supply of food yesterday and he finished in one day. This is of course a hoax lol)

Well, I checked on the little leftover. OH GOD, 2009/04/15, 2009/09/09, 2009/08/16.

I’ve indeed poisoned him. YES.

Well, actually as I had also given some other people those stuffs, I had poisoned quite many people. YESSSS!

My devilish pleasure didn’t last long as I recalled the same story several years ago when I did the same STUPID thing like SM (sorry lol). I called my mom asking why she sent an expired Chinese medicine to me. She laughed and said, “Look carefully, dumbass” (she didn’t say dumbass, cause she knew I was smart. It’s affectionate call.. :D)

So now I told you people about the habit of Chinese food and drug manufacture when printing the date in the package, they actually meant something not the expiry date. LOOK CAREFULLY.
