How long can you keep Mountain Dew until it goes bad?

Un-opened, it can probably go for a few months. Once opened, the soda will lose its "fizz" within a day or two, and you probably won't want to drink it after a few days.


Is it all right to use liquid medicine after expiring within 7 months?

No. The whole point of the expiration date is to let you know not to use it after that. That said, in many cases they just don't work as well, as opposed to actually becoming dangerous. But unless you know for certain this is true of the specific medication you have, you should throw them away after their expiration date.


How long after GNC protein powder expires that you can still use it?

How long can you store canned chicken breast?

I'm assuming here that you aren't opening the can. If you open the can and keep the chicken in the fridge, I'd say I wouldn't keep it more than three days. I have a three day rule about the refrigertor for safety's sake. If the meat is still in the can, there should be an expiration date on the bottom of the can. You could probably safely eat it for a few months after the expiration date, but if its more than six months, I think I would throw it out. Within the six months, I'd make sure and give it a good looking over and smell test before eating it.


Does Jose cuervo golden margarita mix have an expiration date?

I recently had an issue with Jose Cuervo margarita mix - small white particles in a newly opened bottle. I contacted Jose Cuervo customer service and was told that their margarita mix should be used within 12 months from the manufacture date. Ah, but where can you find that information? One the bottle (not the label) is an imprinted number beginning with a letter. The first number is the year (9=2009, 0=2010, 1=2011) then the next 3 numbers are the day in the calendar year of that lot. Calculate a year from that date for use. I will always check that information going forward to avoid issues.


Can cinnamon keep mold off your bread?

Yes. When I make applesauce, I make two versions: one with lots of cinnamon for myself and one without cinnamon for my wife. Hers will acquire mold within a few weeks, whereas mine has lasted for months without any sign of mold growing in it. Admittedly, I haven't done the experiment with a more modest amount of cinnamon in the applesauce, but cinnamon is indeed clearly a mold inhibitor. (To get an idea of what my cinnamon applesauce is like, I once had friends who tried it tell me that they thought it quite a novel idea that I decided to add some apples to my cinnamonsauce.)
