More questions that make up my day
Today I bought a bag of pretzels from the vending machine at work, and when I went to open them, I noticed some printing on the bag that noted they had expired on July 3rd. This led me to wonder, do pretzels really expire? What happens when they go bad? Do they loose that pretzel flavor? What do stale pretzels taste like? What is a pretzel's average shelf life, and do grocers need to check pretzels the way they check milk? Do bad pretzels make you sick like milk or just taste gross like bad juice?Then I realized, this is a perfect example of the kinds of questions that preoccupy the guy mind (not the male mind, but the guy mind). If we put half as much thought into the women we're seeing as we do into pretzels and chips, then ladies, perhaps we'd actually remember things like where we first went to dinner with you, to bring flowers for no reason whatsoever and perhaps even your birthdays... but don't hold me to that. I'd put even more thought into what else we'd be able to accomplish, but I have some pretzel research to conduct.

Pretzels DO get stale... and stale pretzels taste like cardboard! (Uh, not that I would really know what cardboard tastes like, but you get the point...)
However, since this particular bag just expired on July 3rd, you're probably safe to eat them without a noticeable taste differential. :o)

where exactly would you find a bag of "glutano" pretzels?? they don't really sounds all that appealing . . . maybe that's why your company had expired ones in your vending machine :)

We all know that expiration dates are a mere suggestion.
Of course, I'm in "guy mode," so take that w/ a grain of salt.
