I'll bet I have a few 7- or 8-year-old chickens in the bottom of my
chest freezer...

I've been trying to use up the stuff in the upright freezer faster than
I'm restocking it, and it's about half empty now, but I haven't tackled
the chest freezer in a few years.

There's a half a can of hoisin sauce in the upright that's over 10 years
old. I bought one of those huge cans at an Asian market shortly after
moving into this house.
