So i just spent 40 mins opening about 15 cases of *pop* (thats 180 cans) and pouring them down the sink because they were expired by a week or more. I have 12 more cases to go (thats 144 cans) and im just curious how bad expired pop really is?

by the way this *pop* is all at work lol im not a pepsi addict or anything. I actually only drink may 2 *pops* a month.


Also is there any way to recycle them or get rid of em without opening them all?

My work is in talks of getting rid of the free soda. I hope they do because I think its a waste of money for the company and they should do it for health reasons. But then people at my work are saying "if ur trying to be a healthier company then get rid of the honor box, donut thursdays, candy jars at peoples desks, etc"

*subsitute the word pop with soda, coke, whatever word u use to describe cola.*

i've assumed that when soda is past experation, it's more than likely to taste flat... I don't think that it partiularily goes 'bad", so to speak...

recycle the cans. you get 5 cent for each which'll be like 16 bucks. that should make up for part of the money wasted haha.

ive had 3 years expired "pop" and it was fine, depends on how it was stored...if its outside chances are the sun will have some affect to the can and make hte pop taste bad or go flat...if kept in storage then it should be fine, did you taste one before wasting 180 cans?

I once had expired root beer... oh my god it was disgusting.. it was at some ladies house that was probably in her 90's... so she probably was "keeping it for when guests came over" so for all I know, it was there for like 10 years...

In Cali I called it soda, and it's still soda all the way over here, too. I didn't know any Americans said "pop" lol.

Yeah, that was prolly a lot of perfectly good soda down the sink, I've had expired Pepsi before...not a fan of Pepsi, but it tasted ok.

its not an expiration date, its a freshness date. you're just pouring money down the drain laugh.gif all it means is that its not guaranteed to be 'fresh' and cant be sold at full price anymore.

well im a expiration nazi. uhh anything even with an expiration of that day is gross to me. thats probably why i will not eat left overs!

well no one has told me to stop pouring all the pop down the drain. ok maybe a month expired wouldnt be horrible but 6 months to a year is disturbing. yuck

yeah, I work at a grocery store... when people ask for pop, I have to think for a second before I figure out that they're from the east... they also say 'wooder' instead of water! tongue.gif
