what happens if you eat an expired cookie?!


Question: What happens if you eat an expired cookie?
My mom's friend brought us a batch of cookies in a plastic box and they expire tomorrow. I ate like four of them already. Is it okay? I know it's tomorrow but still...

Answers:

Yes, you'll be fine. In fact you could probably eat them a week past the expiry date and still be fine - the texture and taste of the cookie would just be different (ie: stale) which would put you off eating it in the first place!



For foods like this, expiration dates are put on food to indicate that the food may lose freshness and optimum taste. As long as the cookies have been stored in a "cool, dark" place or whatever the package recommends, you should be okay.



YOU EXPLODE!

ok, nothing should happen. If something does, then maybe upset stomach, but you will be OK. Don't worry about it.

Err, duh? Obviously if it is still not expired... :|

My friggin' brain!



Well you ate four, so that one "expired cookie" will go join his cookie friends in tummytown.



You'll die.

You have WAY too much time on your hands.



What are you white?
Nothing will happen to you if it A DAY before the expiration date
