The Truth about Breadcrumbs

Posted on January 18th, 2009 Saver Queen 7 comments

After writing my previous post on breadcrumbs, I took a look at that store-bought No-Name breadcrumbs I had in my pantry. When I looked at the expiry date, I couldn’t believe my eyes: 2509.

What kind of food expires in 500 years?

Update:

Reader Sam points out that this probably means they expire on Feb 25, 2009. I guess this means I shouldn’t rely on the store-bought breadcrumbs to get me through the recession and beyond, after all. Here I was thinking that in my old age, grey and wrinkled, I’d still be able to reach for those breadcrumbs in a moment of desperation.

Its most likely month day year, feb 25/09. That’s my guess.

LOL! It would be funny if they lasted 500 years though!

Ha!

And I freeze bread crusts to use for crumbs. The food processor can handle frozen bread, and then I don’t have to worry if it doesn’t last 500 years.
