My mom found all this pepsi she bought a long time ago in the back of her car, it could've been there over a year, maybe more. But I know sodas take a long time to expire. The bottom of the can says September 9, 2009. Is this the expiration date, there are other less clear numbers on it, but my dad drank one and he says he likes it better than the coke we have in our house, which isnt expired. Should I drink it?
orphans answered Monday February 8 2010, 2:13 pm: thats not the expiration date..its the "best by" date, as in, it tastes its best before that date. Its also an indication to the store that "do not sell after this date"..simply because it wont taste as good.
Pepsi can not expire. Perishable food can only technically expire, because meat can go off, as can dairy products etc. Something like pepsi, is not a perishable, and so therefore it wont start to grow mould or anything, and im pretty sure there will be no side effects. I say...if it tastes ok...dont throw it out...drink it. If it tastes off..then throw it. But theres no need to throw it out...its still drinkable...infact...it tastes better!
