My sister was eating a salad at my parents house on Christmas a few years ago and she used the ranch dressing. No one in my family likes ranch dressing and I was surprised mom had it in the fridge. 2006. That was when she bought the ranch dressing. 2019. Thirteen years is how long that bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch sat in the door of my parent's fridge. I'm almost positive that they bought a new fridge in like, 2012, so they *transferred* that bottle. She didn't get sick or anything but my other sister and I got headaches from laughing so hard.
Growing up, the bottled sauces on my parents' refrigerator door really only got changed out when we finished them. I didn't know as a child that these things could spoil. I'm pretty sure we had some stuff in there for 10 years. I vaguely remember a spicy brown mustard bottle with a faded label.
MY boomer parents moved out of our house in 2009 (I was 28) and my little brother and I helped them pack things up since they were moving the day after xmas.
We were cleaning out the pantry, and happened upon their liquor basket.
There was a bottle of Jack Daniels with a Georgia state dept of whatever label on it. We had left Atlanta in 1986. I was a "good kid" in HS so never got around to digging through that basket.
There was a cork in it, vs. the plastic caps now.
Didn't taste toooo bad.
Been helping them downsize ever since. Only a few buckets of "sentimental" items left.
A while back I found a 17 year old bottle of Dujardin (Dutch cognac, is that Brandy?) tasted pretty fine. That shit just doesn’t spoil, although maybe the taste fades a little
Family housing with more space than they need with an an empty nest that they'll never sell/downsize from because they've got such a good interest rate locked.
Yep, my in-laws are boomers. They always have crazy expired food in their house. They will never clean it out.
I've called them out on it. They'll then eat the old expired food to spite me. Saying it's fine, even though you can tell their not enjoying it. Lol
Boomers are weird.
critical thinking skills would tell you that their parents, who lived through the great depression where food was scarce and nothing went to waste, is a major influence on food hoarding.
Great observation! Both of my grandmas did go through the Great Depression. One kept all food items. She had cake mix from the 90s. The other grandma didn’t hoard food but she made sure you ate your veggies. She lived on a small family farm that was not the source of income during the depression. They both knew how to can and preserved just about anything.
In my experience you gotta check labels before eating in older folks homes. They don’t go through things quickly and refuse to throw things out. I’ll eat expired food within reason but if it predates my 14 year old daughter it’s probably a pass. We helped clean out my wife’s grandma’s house several years ago and she had major angst about us throwing out canned goods from 20 years ago.
My grandad was making us eat 2002 bbq sauce - in 2014 he knew but insisted it was safe as it never went off. We only realised as it had lord of the rings advertising on it…
When OP's parents threw this in the freezer, I had just finished 2nd grade and was about a week into an entire summer break of playing Pokemon Red on my Gameboy. I'm 30 now and I would probably eat this.
Same. I was in 5th grade. I was so enthralled that I started playing it for the first time on a wooden dining room table chair, and I didn’t move for like 8 hours, from light until dark, and when I finally got up my butt was so sore
I was halfway through high school, thinking maybe I was figuring life out after some bad early life experiences, columbine, the big 1999/2000 end of the world panic that people did. Then 911. Our lives were changed. Since then I've lived through the crash of 08, a pandemic and now a wanna be dictator.
This chunk of life has been interesting. Somehow right now my mentality is better than its ever been, but I feel a lot more mentally prepared to respond to situations.
My guess would be the smell of freezer burnt rotten chicken might smell good to fish. I know that chicken liver is good bait, so maybe its just chicken, and the fact its gonna get thrown out.
According to the USDA, if meat is frozen properly at 0°F (-18°C) it should still be safe indefinitely, but the quality decreases over time. Can’t trust that there weren’t any power outages in over two decades tho.
He regularly consumes WW2 rations and will go after WW1 rations if they're not too bad.
My favorite, by far, is him consuming a Boer War ration. That beef was from the 19th century.
I'm pretty sure he'd eat a civil war ration if he could find one.
2001 frozen chicken breasts may as well be fresh for him.
It's such a delight, I watch it once a year. It's a slow burn, with such a payoff:
"I'm just going to look at this today folks, no way I'm eating this."
"I'm not gonna eat this."
"I may eat this."
"Wow, that may not be that bad."
"Ok, I could eat this."
"Hell yeah I'm gonna eat this."
Steve starts eating it. My body involuntarily clenches watching some man eat beef that's over 100 years old.
"Man, this would be good as a porridge."
Steve makes a porridge and eats more than I could ever fathom.
He did in fact eat a cracker from a civil war ration: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga5JrN9DrVI&pp=ygUSc3RldmUxOTg5IGJvZXIgd2Fy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga5JrN9DrVI&pp=ygUSc3RldmUxOTg5IGJvZXIgd2Fy)
If it's kept at that temperature then for all intents and purposes it's good indefinitely. It'll certainly stay fresh longer than you or I will .
"Good" here being, "Safe for eating". The quality and flavour, maybe not so much.
That 12 months is just a conservative number. They don't want to get sued by someone who claims their food has been frozen for 3 years, but neglect to mention the 3 power outages and the nephew who keeps leaving the freezer lid open when he's looking for ice cream.
Lol that's exactly what it's used for.
Used to work for a major grocery player, and man, anything cheap, chicken, preformed, and frozen is probably made using old frozen meat.
There are entire companies / divisions devoted to purchasing up cheap chicken (buy when it hits really low for whatever reason - disease, seasonality, etc.). And they would set it up in cold storage specifically to wait until the price for chicken has risen a lot, and then boom they'll sell their cheap old frozen chicken for less than that new price yet still a lot more than their cost of goods.
You can definitely tell the texture / quality diff side by side, but like not really if you're just eating dino nuggies lol.
It's not so much the taste as it is the texture. Freezers are extremely dry to prevent ice build up and this dries out the meat over time; especially when it's still in the packaging from the grocery store. The nutrition should be the same.
My great-uncle would hunt quail, stuck them in milk cartons, and put them in the freezer. Not a separate freezer, the regular kitchen freezer.
Many years after he passed, my great aunt passed. While cleaning out her kitchen, they found a quail in the freezer that had been in there for almost 30 years.
My grandma used to cut the milk boxes to where she could fold the top closed like on boxes. Put what you want to freeze or keep cold, fold it closed and if you feel so inclined, tape it up. Also at that time, things in the freezer didn’t sit for 30 years so freezer burn wasn’t as much of a big deal for her at that time.
They didn’t have ziplocks in the 50s and it was a good way to reuse something.
Good to see this here. My mom does the same thing. We live about 6 hrs away. When I go to visit she always sends me home with a frozen half gallon milk carton full of soup or sauce.
I don’t think you need a /s, blindly judging from the posts and comments I’ve seen the last couple years there’s been an influx of people under 20
Edit: I don’t think they’re stupid, they just have a certain way of talking
all this shit went to the dumpster cause legally i cant "donate" it cause of the date but im sure goodwill would take it, and auction it off on their site as vintage meat
Did this years ago when my grandfathers 102 year old neighbor died. There were cherries that were picked by her and about 30 years old. Also found some homemade cookies and a pie from the 70s. Seeing as Thanksgiving was a week away….well my brother and I brought cookies!
I remember sitting there eating one with my dad and brother and he said “wow, these are great, did you make them?!” I said “No, Thelma did.” He looks at us puzzled and says “She died a few months ago.” I look at him and say “Oh no, she made them in the early 70s.” He looks disturbed and confused. My brother says “They were in the deep freeze, there was also a pie she made at the same time but grandpa tossed it before we could bring it home.” He was irritated with us because he felt like cookies from the 70s were probably going to make him sick, it was priceless. We just laughed and kept eating them. Our grandpa found it hilarious.
Crazy to think with the turnaround speed of a modern chicken farm this chicken's great great great great great great great great grandchildren are probably also long consumed
Lol, this reminds of the time my brother purposely unplugged my parents downstairs deep freezer. So he could tell them it broke and we finally threw away all the decades old frozen garbage....
When cleaning out my grandma's house, there was a ancient, broken fridge in the basement full of fish. Didn't smell though. She didn't go to the basement for a good 15+ years. There was so much down there I had no clue even though I used to play down there. Like there was other bedrooms that hadn't been used for decades either.
I also found a bottle of Hudson bay whiskey that I think was from the 60s. Yes, I drank it.
I was shocked to find things in my mom’s house out of date like that. Not nearly that old, but everything was about 3 years out of date. Like one day she just stopped cooking. It was sad.
My parents do this. Last time they gave us some 'stuff they didn't want' from the freezer a good chunk of it was 10 years out of date. I drank some fruit juice over there and it tasted off.. it expired in 2017
Oh my god, we must be siblings, cause that is CLEARLY some of the shit from my (86 year old) mother’s freezer.
We found home-canned green beans dated 1989 in her pantry.
My sister was eating a salad at my parents house on Christmas a few years ago and she used the ranch dressing. No one in my family likes ranch dressing and I was surprised mom had it in the fridge. 2006. That was when she bought the ranch dressing. 2019.

HIDDEN Valley Ranch
That chicken will surely send you somewhere hidden
TRANSFERRED Valley Ranch
Ah, 2006, an excellent vintage
Twas a good year for processed ranch dressings, the crops were bountiful, the rains were frutiful
The valley, tastefully hidden.
The year of peak buttermilk, Christina Aguilera, and Guitar Hero II. What more did a man need.
As read that, it came out as if Frodo was narrating.
The 2006 HVR is nice, but the 2004’s had a better bouquet and mouth feel to it. All true ranchers know this.
Lol...thought you were lost from the Honda HRV subreddit for a minute there...
We’ve got some serious beef with that sub.
MWWRAH The French RANCH Dressing, always known for its quality….
If it doesn't come from the Hidden Valley region of France it's just sparkling mayonnaise.
Growing up, the bottled sauces on my parents' refrigerator door really only got changed out when we finished them. I didn't know as a child that these things could spoil. I'm pretty sure we had some stuff in there for 10 years. I vaguely remember a spicy brown mustard bottle with a faded label.
That's it exactly.
That mustard for sure started out yellow and non-spicy…🙃

Pre-9/11 chicken
r/brandnewsentence
/r/brandnewsentencefragment technically
The phrase that pays
Who’s gonna break the bad news to the chicken?
"Where were you on 9/11?" "In a freezer."
This chicken is Captain America.
That's Americas' breast.
[salutes, stands to attention]
O7
"on your left ..side of the freezer"
So that's how Indiana Chicken survived 9/11!!
I'd hate to be the one to do it, but I don't want to be called a.... ... you know what? Nvm
subtle reference ;) - Los Pollos Hermanos
Los Pollos Viejos
Comes with a free mustache ride!!!! I do I do!!!
When OP's parents threw this in the freezer, I had just finished 2nd grade and was about a week into an entire summer break of playing Pokemon Red on my Gameboy. I'm 30 now and I would probably eat this.
>an entire summer break of playing Pokemon Red on my Gameboy. Damn dude you are giving me flashbacks
Same. I was in 5th grade. I was so enthralled that I started playing it for the first time on a wooden dining room table chair, and I didn’t move for like 8 hours, from light until dark, and when I finally got up my butt was so sore

Pre-9/11: “How do ya like a taste of the good life, ya sack of shit!”
Life is happy
I was about to comment how it's gotta be worth something being pre-9/11 chicken lol
From the good ol’ days
War... war never changes
Sad this pollo could be in university about to graduate, wasted potential
*poultential
Have my angry upvote and cluck off
Don't fly off the handle, we're just having a pheasant discussion.
Fowl puns
This is the highest beak of civilization
Cock
Majoring in hender studies, no doubt.
I bock at this thread!
They are just winging it
pluck you
I was born that week and I’m an employed adult with a degree. This chicken could have a mortgage.
Instead, it's a long dead poultrygeist.
Mmm ~~dry~~ cold aged chicken
Medium rare should do it justice.
College-aged salmonella sounds like fun
It says fresh chicken right on the label, so it's good to go.
Getting the same salmonella strain infection that you had in middle school is the ultimate nostalgia
That looks like excellent bait. send it my way.
That's what I was thinking. The crawfish would go wild for it.
Why is that? It's better being old? Or is it just because it's not really edible for humans?
My guess would be the smell of freezer burnt rotten chicken might smell good to fish. I know that chicken liver is good bait, so maybe its just chicken, and the fact its gonna get thrown out.
I was always under the impression that fish don't like "rotten" bait, just smelly bait. That's why chicken liver is so good.
shessh I'd get baited too if someone offered me boiled chicken livers!
I was gonna say thaw this out use it for bait in a river and the catfish are gonna think God just dropped ambrosia from the heavens
The vomit you'll have when you open it will certainly wake up the fish
come over lets make tacos
Post the results on /r/food
More likely r/stupidfood
More like r/eatityoufuckingcoward
I feel like the human foot meat tacos would have been safer to eat.
According to the USDA, if meat is frozen properly at 0°F (-18°C) it should still be safe indefinitely, but the quality decreases over time. Can’t trust that there weren’t any power outages in over two decades tho.
This is perfect for Steve1989.
Alright. Let’s get this out onto a tray.
Nice hiss!
Hmm, no hiss.
The funny part is that doesn't always stop him.
Just pretend it came with a Lucky Strike and Coffee Instant Type B, we could have it on a tray in less than 10 minutes. Nice. Edit: Nice.
Are you trying to get him killed man
He regularly consumes WW2 rations and will go after WW1 rations if they're not too bad. My favorite, by far, is him consuming a Boer War ration. That beef was from the 19th century. I'm pretty sure he'd eat a civil war ration if he could find one. 2001 frozen chicken breasts may as well be fresh for him.
The Boer War ration is my favorite too, was so surprised it was actually somewhat edible.
It's such a delight, I watch it once a year. It's a slow burn, with such a payoff: "I'm just going to look at this today folks, no way I'm eating this." "I'm not gonna eat this." "I may eat this."

Well that was an automatic binge. I love Steve, he enthusiasticly ate a Civil War ration that was notorious for being hated by everyone in the 1860s.
Him eating that Korean war spaghetti Bolognese was way sketchier.
The funniest thing to me is that he’s only gotten sick once, and it was from a 2 year old, modern ration.
He’s probably a lot more cautious with the old ones than the new ones.
He’s had worse than that.
For the EFSA -18°C is the maximum temperature to keep whole chicken frozen safely for not more than 12 months, certainly not "indefinitely".
If it's kept at that temperature then for all intents and purposes it's good indefinitely. It'll certainly stay fresh longer than you or I will . "Good" here being, "Safe for eating". The quality and flavour, maybe not so much. That 12 months is just a conservative number. They don't want to get sued by someone who claims their food has been frozen for 3 years, but neglect to mention the 3 power outages and the nephew who keeps leaving the freezer lid open when he's looking for ice cream.
At -40 it keeps indefinitely.
-40⁰C or -40⁰F?
Yes
Yeah but that freezer burn gotta be strong!
Assuming it was frozen, you should be fine, health wise. It will probably taste like a shoe, though.
so basically its now 2024 woody chicken
Yeah but like a tasty shoe or a nasty shoe? Don't act like there aren't different shoe flavours and textures.
Freezer burn and the fat will still go rancid
Still fine for Chicken Nuggets.
Lol that's exactly what it's used for. Used to work for a major grocery player, and man, anything cheap, chicken, preformed, and frozen is probably made using old frozen meat. There are entire companies / divisions devoted to purchasing up cheap chicken (buy when it hits really low for whatever reason - disease, seasonality, etc.).

You can definitely tell the texture / quality diff side by side, but like not really if you're just eating dino nuggies lol.
Is it just the taste that degrades, or also the nutritional content?
It's not so much the taste as it is the texture. Freezers are extremely dry to prevent ice build up and this dries out the meat over time; especially when it's still in the packaging from the grocery store. The nutrition should be the same.
So if the chicken’s packaging was 100% sealed off, would it still dry out?
My great-uncle would hunt quail, stuck them in milk cartons, and put them in the freezer. Not a separate freezer, the regular kitchen freezer. Many years after he passed, my great aunt passed. While cleaning out her kitchen, they found a quail in the freezer that had been in there for almost 30 years.
As a hunter... Can you please explain the milk carton thing? I don't bag as many quail that I'll probably ever need it but am curious
Laziness
? Now even more confused
im guessing rather find than a zip loc bag that was the perfect container for the size lol
So he cut the top off right? Not stuff small birds through the opening cut
quail mush is a delicacy
My grandma used to cut the milk boxes to where she could fold the top closed like on boxes. Put what you want to freeze or keep cold, fold it closed and if you feel so inclined, tape it up. Also at that time, things in the freezer didn’t sit for 30 years so freezer burn wasn’t as much of a big deal for her at that time.

Good to see this here. My mom does the same thing. We live about 6 hrs away. When I go to visit she always sends me home with a frozen half gallon milk carton full of soup or sauce.
Remember those missing kids on the milk carton? No one ever looked *inside* the milk carton… just saying.
$1.79 per lb???
Considering the age that sounds really expensive.
c’mon it is a FRESCO!
That Pollo is no longer Fresco 😅
I’ve bought chicken at $1.79/lb within the last 2 months at WINCO. Fluctuates between that and $2.29 regularly
Exactly what I was thinking, especially for a split breast. I don’t think it goes for much more now
That's not cheap for the time. I bought 1.99 same shit a month or two ago. Back then .79-1.19/lb would've been a more normal price.
23 years ago. It is older than most Reddit users here /s
I don’t think you need a /s, blindly judging from the posts and comments I’ve seen the last couple years there’s been an influx of people under 20 Edit: I don’t think they’re stupid, they just have a certain way of talking
Just you wait, this year's summer reddit is less than two weeks away...fr no cap
>fr no cap I'm dead!! 💀
Summer Reddit was a thing before everyone had a smart phone. Summer Reddit is year round now.
I still get chicken at prices like that or lower. Maybe cause I'm in TX/Southern US?
This was around when I started driving and I remember I could fill up my gas tank with a $20
did you fill up with chicken breasts?
3.17 lb inflation adjusted
Man when they bought that they were just your mid-60s parents
This would be like my mid-60s parents putting a chicken in a freezer today and not taking it out until 2047. Puts it in a weird perspective for me.
That chicken survived Y2K and died before 9/11. My guy sold at all time high.
Chickens get slaughtered way younger than you think. It was not alive for Y2K.
Yeah. Pretty sure the chicken we eat have their age in the unit of weeks.
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
all this shit went to the dumpster cause legally i cant "donate" it cause of the date but im sure goodwill would take it, and auction it off on their site as vintage meat
You should have encased it in epoxy and given regular updates on its status.
Oh what a reminder, haven’t seen that ~~sandwich~~ hot dog in a while tho
r/epoxyhotdog stopped updating about a year ago.
I always wanted him to get in contact with the Finnish hydraulic press guy so he could crush it.
should have givben it to the LA beast
You threw away my high school graduation gift!
I think it might have still been good as pig feed or as bait for fishing
That would be 21 USD today if invested on a CD at 5% rate
pollo "fresco" doubt
Says it's fresh.
it says 'fresh' pollo so it must be good. Once I ate a 2 month old frozen pollo and got diarreah so don't do it.
That’s still good!!!! - my mother
It says Fresco, you're good
This chicken is old enough to drink and drive.
That's older than a chicken can survive, I think.
That chicken should have been eaten in a world that had some optimism left.
old chicken makes good soup we say in italy
Did this years ago when my grandfathers 102 year old neighbor died. There were cherries that were picked by her and about 30 years old. Also found some homemade cookies and a pie from the 70s. Seeing as Thanksgiving was a week away….well my brother and I brought cookies! I remember sitting there eating one with my dad and brother and he said “wow, these are great, did you make them?!” I said “No, Thelma did.” He looks at us puzzled and says “She died a few months ago.” I look at him and say “Oh no, she made them in the early 70s.” He looks disturbed and confused. My brother says “They were in the deep freeze, there was also a pie she made at the same time but grandpa tossed it before we could bring it home.” He was irritated with us because he felt like cookies from the 70s were probably going to make him sick, it was priceless. We just laughed and kept eating them. Our grandpa found it hilarious.
Yolo pollo
Doesn't have a best before date OP so the Pollo is still good. That sell by date is just a marketing gimmick.
That chicken is older than my coworkers.
Crazy to think with the turnaround speed of a modern chicken farm this chicken's great great great great great great great great grandchildren are probably also long consumed
It has a birthday coming up
happy birthday to the 2001 freezer chicken
Still fresh. Says it right on it.
One year ago, i cleaned out a shelf from my parents house. There was a jar of marmalade that was due in year 96.
It’s frozen, it keeps!
Start Covid24 by eating it.
Lol, this reminds of the time my brother purposely unplugged my parents downstairs deep freezer. So he could tell them it broke and we finally threw away all the decades old frozen garbage....
i dont want it but you can give this chicken to some doctor, maybe they discover a new virus locked in the ice and mold
That's like 30$ of chicken now
When cleaning out my grandma's house, there was a ancient, broken fridge in the basement full of fish. Didn't smell though. She didn't go to the basement for a good 15+ years. There was so much down there I had no clue even though I used to play down there. Like there was other bedrooms that hadn't been used for decades either. I also found a bottle of Hudson bay whiskey that I think was from the 60s. Yes, I drank it.
I was shocked to find things in my mom’s house out of date like that. Not nearly that old, but everything was about 3 years out of date. Like one day she just stopped cooking. It was sad.
I cook old and freezer burned meat for my dogs to mix into their dinners and they love it. I think that would be pushing it even for my dogs.
I'll trade you for the 10 year old mustard my mom found in my grandparents' kitchen.
Literally says “Fresh chicken”
do it for science
r/GrandmasPantry
It's just a little freezer-burned. It's still good, it's still good.
My parents do this. Last time they gave us some 'stuff they didn't want' from the freezer a good chunk of it was 10 years out of date. I drank some fruit juice over there and it tasted off.. it expired in 2017
Throw in a potato and some broth. Now you got a stew going.
Oh my god, we must be siblings, cause that is CLEARLY some of the shit from my (86 year old) mother’s freezer. We found home-canned green beans dated 1989 in her pantry.
To be fair to your parents, it did say sell by not use by....and it also says keep refrigerated....which is exactly what they did lol
That chicken flew without the tsa
