How long do you keep bottles of sauces, dressings, or toppings? Forever? Until Expiration Date? -- nm - the ice Aug 6, 07:30 7
- They get tossed when I go to use them and notice either the smell is off or the expiration date. Sometimes they get tossed if I need room and - Krusty Aug 6, 07:32 3
  - basically this. i never, ever, ever seem to use one up completely. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 07:44 2
    - Yup. Hot sauce is the closest one I get to finishing it completely but that could just be because I use so much each time. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 6, 07:50 1

      - I am permanently blind from my eye rolls. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 08:11 2
        
        I think one of my eyes came a little loose the other day from an eye roll. I'll have to be more careful. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 08:14 1

Lithium-laced drinking water could curb suicide rates. Beryllium-laced drinking water could increase photography rates. -- (link) - Blue Punch Baron Aug 6, 07:15 4
- I could use some of that Beryllium water. But I'm not too keen on the idea of Lithium water. - sycor Aug 6, 07:24 3
  - Beryllium is also toxic, but mostly to lungs, not digestive tracts, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 08:56 2
    - It was more a joke about needing the help with my photography. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 09:02 1
