What's the greatest extent (as in the most amount of time) to which you've eaten something past its expiration date with the food still being enjoyable? (lemm.ee)

Actual food? Probably yogurt at like one or two months. It had been sealed up until then.

I've had table syrup that was at least 4 years past the expiration (it actually still had the aunt Jemima on the bottle is how old it was).

A few days ago I finished some baking powder and my partner brought a big bottle home and I was like "oh it's okay that stuff doesn't expire!" Then I looked at the previous container I had and found out it had, in fact, expired in 2017. Don't think it affected my baking though.

I mostly just eat stuff without looking at the dates unless it smells bad or is moldy.

Syrup I always thought was like honey. It comes from tree sap and that can even be fermented.

Aunt Jemima be like "I'm still here, critics!"
