Best By Dates: How long do things last?

This topic is one that I have touched on before, and I would like to bring your attention to another product that has a much longer shelf life than printed on the label. As we all know, the "best by" date is just a guideline to freshness and taste quality on the majority of products. It has nothing to do with safety. There are a few exceptions and one is baby formula.

What we are focusing on here are canned goods, dry goods (pasta, rice, etc.) and packaged goods like mustard, ketchup, hot sauces and, of course, mayonnaise.

For my example, I would like to present a jar of mayo that I purchased in November 2022.

As you can see, I write the purchase date on the label with a black marker. In this case, I noted the price, too. Now for the best by date. In case you can't read it, the date is 5/19/23.

And finally, this is the date I opened it.

And how is it? Just fine! I had recently finished up a jar with the same dates, and it was good to the bottom of the jar. The jar lasted approximately 7 weeks in the fridge.

And there you have it folks. By the time this jar is used up, it will likely be into May, proving that mayo can last (stored properly) for at least 2 years past the best by date. I've linked to a previous post on the subject.

JFK Files, Covid Scam and More

Hello Friends,

There is a lot going on around the country this week, and rather than try to summarize everything and create a TLDR post, I'll leave you with a few links and a blurb on each to get you started.

We'll start off with today's article from Coffee and Covid. This is information packed so buckle up.

☕️ REGIME CHANGES ☙ Friday, March 21, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

"JFK files explode, Trump drops 3 blockbusters: DOE shutdown, swamp procurement chokehold, and mining revival—media stunned, Reagan’s ghost grinning, history rewriting itself; more."
– Jeff Childers


Next we have a special study about the pandemic, censorship and the complete lack of concern for human life.

A Narrative Review of the COVID-19 Infodemic and Censorship in Healthcare 

Secrecy and Society Volume 3 Number 2 Special Issue: Pandemic Secrecy

"The amount of information and scientific data that was censored and kept secret throughout the pandemic is incalculable. However, the evidence presented in this narrative review suggests that lack of access to critical information resulted in the unnecessary and dramatic loss of countless human lives, and possible deaths to follow. Censoring information about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the science behind government recommended responses to the pandemic, the safety and efficacy of COVID19 vaccines, and available treatments for COVID-19 contributed to a loss of trust in healthcare providers and healthcare institutions." Excerpt from page 54.

And now President Trump has signed and Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. 

Returning education back to the states.

"We're going to be returning education very simply BACK TO THE STATES where it belongs, and we want to have our children well educated and we want them to love going to school."

– President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Hope you enjoy the articles. There are a lot of changes taking place, I believe, for the good of the country and the American people. There are also a lot of haters out there, and I pray for them and hope that one day they will wake up and say "wow, they were right all along. Until next time, take care and stay sane.
