Cleaning cupboards today (LONG overdue) and found a stash of them I forgot. "Best if used by June 2008"...but do they really go bad? No biggie if they have to be tossed, just a shame. Thanks!
I did chuck the boxes of Rice-a-roni that expired in 2006 I found elsewhere.

Pudding is still cheap enough that I'd toss it and get some that still has flavor.

DH has Crohn's and there have been times that jello and Lipton chicken noodle soup were the only things he could tolerate so I have a lifetime supply of jello. Thankfully he's stabilized on medication and can eat most things now.
