Agreed! I had a friend who worked at a soup kitchen in Seattle. This was
in the days when expiration dates were not required. But he said he knew
some of the food was stale because he tasted it. He said bakeries would
often drop off really old seasonal stuff. Like Valentines cookies months
after Valentines day. He said he hated having to serve them the bad tasting
stuff.
