So, with my room mate gone i am finding items that have lingered too long, like milk.

Last week i opened the fridge and saw three cartons of milk. The first, closest to the front, i removed and checked the date: May 23, 2008. Too old, i poured it down the sink. i then removed the second one: April 18, 2008. Down the sink.

The third and last one didn't seem promising, but i looked anyway and found it was from March- doesn't matter which day in March, still way too old. Down the sink.

A few days later, after i bought a new half gallon, i noticed a carton that i had missed to the side of the fridge. This one would surely be from June.
