Expired but medical approved

A picture is worth a thousand words…

…but I will start you off with the first 100.

It may be expired…  but it’s medical approved!

Food items around here arrive in waves; then they sit on the shelf and start to accumulate discount stickers.  They also don’t order more until all sold out.  I was baffled when someone said “I’m waiting until it expires and goes on sale.” 
…
what!?!

The guy actually did his shopping based on the expiration.  He just happens to do it from the wrong side of the label.  The idea is to consume it before the company that created it becomes no longer liable for the quality or safety of the product.

Trihalomethanes

Tri-Halo-Methane.

It is literally the by-product of a kid peeing in a public swimming pool.  Seriously.

The normal water treatment process is as follows:

Get the water.
Strain out any big floaters.
Add some chemicals to nuke the bacteria.
Filter the chemicals (and by-products) out.
Consume.

Apparently it’s okay to ignore some steps.  The Trihalomethane count is actually so high that you are warned not to take a bath in it.  Showers are okay though…  How does that make sense!?  Potable water is provided, but it’s only filtered so far.  I use (and recommend to all) a filter on everything.
