I just found a funny little bottle of some sort of "energy drink" (not
really similar to those things of today) that I picked up in Tokyo back in
1985 or so. It is unopened. I should down it and get it out of there.

Be sure to recyck the bottle.
Your post reminds me of a guy who wore his hard contacts, bought in
Viet Nam, for at least 20 years.

A large hunk (about three pounds remaining) of an overjarige cheese brought
back from Gouda, Holland, over ten years ago. Triple wrapped -- we just shave
off the outer layer of mold, use what we need, and re-wrap in fresh
paper/saran/foil.

It's the "energizer cheese' -- it just keeps going, and going, and going ...

It must be "aged gouda" by this time. Aged gouda doesn't taste
anything like young gouda - it's more like a cheddar with some age on
it.

Didn't I read somewhere that if you wrap cheese in vinegar-soaked
cheesecloth (wrung out, of course) before wrapping further, it will
not mold as quickly?

You tell us. How do we know what you read somewhere?

Not having any cheesecloth, I used a paper towel that was soaked in
vinegar, to wrap around the cheese. I put the cheese in a plastic bag
and it worked until the cheese was gone.

Yeah...me. I have had a chunk of parmesan going for months. It's
wrapped in vinegar soaked papertowel, then stored in a ziplock with
all the air expelled.

I have also read to butter the cut edge.

And butter works on a cut onion too. Not so much to preserve it but to stop
the odor. My dad freaked when I moved back home because I had discovered
onions. Prior my mom had only ever used the dried, minced. He didn't want
me to put a cut onion in his fridge because it would stink. I buttered it
and it didn't. Actually I margarined it because they don't use butter.
That worked too. Now they eat real onions.

Well, you could look for info on the label, or remember when you obtained
it, or remember the occasion when it was given to you, or . . .

who cares? But HOW old?

Where on the liquid smoke label does it have any information like
that?

Like I said, how would you know for sure unless it was marked? I
don't remember exactly when I bought mine, but it has to be 20-30
years old. I'm finally down to the bottom and should look for a new
bottle soon.

I have a small gift tub of Cheddar cheese spread that "expired" in
2008. That's about it - my fridge is fairly new.

I've got salad dressing, not as old as your stuff, but about 3 years
old. Bottled Caesar, and bottled 3 cheese ranch. I don't want to use
them because they are so old, and I don't want to throw them out. So
they just sit there. I started making my own vinagrettes, so didn't
use them.

I remember about 15 years ago I was at my parents house and went thru
their refrigerator and noticed they had bottles of salad dressing in
there that had expired ten years before. Totally grossed me out.

The oldest food item I have in my fridge is a bottle of lemon juice.
The expiration date on it says 2009 but I've been using it
sporadically and it still tastes fine. I guess because of the acidic
nature it will last a long, long time.

I went through my mother's freezer in 2007 and found meat (and fish!) dated
from 2000. Completely freezer burned and absolutely inedible. Ugh! She
also had salad dressing that was way past it's prime. I didn't understand
it at first. Then I realized she had been so busy taking care of my father
(who had Alzheimer's) she didn't dare leave him alone to go shopping. She
used to drive to the Commissary at Parris Island to go grocery shopping.
Why are you driving 35 miles (one way) to buy groceries? "No sales tax."
Oh come on, you can afford to pay sales tax! Sheesh. Why drive 35 miles to
save on sales tax?

Anyway, I dumped all that stuff from the freezer and the fridge and went
shopping. Then I started cooking. Mom always hated to cook so she
appreciated the help I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for them that year.
Cornish game hens, cornbread dressing, green beans, parker house rolls.

What you "missed" was she had stocked the freezer with stuff I wound up
throwing away. Freezer burned meats and fish that had been there for years.
Trust me, you wouldn't have wanted to eat this stuff.

She was 82 when she asked me to come help with my father. She certainly
didn't need to be driving, much less 35 miles (one way) to save 6% sales
tax. Once I got here I took care of the shopping and the cooking.

So why not toss the contents, recyck the bottles and gain the space?
What's holding you up? Think of all that nice freedom from having to
root around amongst those bottles -- unless you've got em shoved way
in the back. Hey - that's another thread.

In cases like that, the one in the refrigerator keeps you from buying
another one that you'll use a spoonful of (if you ever do open it) and
then store forever, so you saved money.

So why not toss the contents, recyck the bottles and gain the space?
What's holding you up? Think of all that nice freedom from having to
root around amongst those bottles -- unless you've got em shoved way
in the back. Hey - that's another thread.

Oh yeah. Something else. I've got a bottle of Mescal, that I picked
up in Mazatlan Mexico back in 1979. It just sits there, complete with
worm and everything. Yuch. I could understand drinking it way back
then, but now...???

There's starched and sprinkled baby clothes ready for ironing in our
refrigerator. Not exactly sure of their age but the baby is about to become
a grandfather. Polly

Who irons baby clothes? I have read that in the old days they did
refrigerate clothes until they were ready to iron them. I never did that.
And nowadays I try to buy things that don't need to be ironed.
