Experience disagrees with you. They’re still effective painkillers
A lot of Americans have been trained to only look at dates and throw everything out after. It creates a lot of unnecessary waste.
I know people who throw out everything if it hits the date. Milk, eggs, yogurt, sour cream, canned goods. Food that’s still fine, but the magical date has been hit so they must buy more and feed the consumption machine.
