You know how bad it needs to be to be ignored for over 2 decades!

It's a "best before" date not an expiration date, it might still be good!

How high did the item score? https://xkcd.com/2178/

Best before 2097? What's the problem there?

How many power outages has that Lasagna seen?

What do you mean, it says new right on the box. Can’t be that old

March 97 of what year?

Let's get this out onto a tray.

Nonzero chance that abiogenesis occurred in there

How big is that freezer the she forgot a lasagna in there for this long?

I'd honestly be impressed by a freezer that's been running since '97.

Maybe it ages like wine.

Does that brand even exist anymore?

It does say new on the package

Even this picture is a decade old by now.

Nice little hiss

Sooo, How was it?

What impresses me most is that her refrigerator has been working at least since 1997 This refrigerator deserves to go to the Valhalla of refrigerators

Send it to ashens

Probably real beef!

After all that time, it truly is a kitchen classic.

My girlfriend's family cabin has a cold storage in the basement. We found some canned stew that had expired in 1982. A friend of mine actually ate it and he didn't get sick!

Sure it's not 1997 now, but who knows what will happen in the future?

She’ll finally be in the mood for it, and learn that you shouldn’t throw things away cause you never know when you’ll need it. /s

SteveMRE1987 wants it

Guys it's just a "best by" date! Those things last forever!

probably still good

If it went in the freezer good, it's good

That's probably the best microwave dinner left on the planet if it doesn't have freezer burn.

My father was an academic and the thing academics do when they visit each other's houses is to bring a bottle of something. So they had a cellar room full of booze. It was awesome when I was in high school in the mid-90s. My parents didn't drink beer though, so there was no beer in the house except for a six-pack of Michelob at the back of the room that had pull tabs on it. They stopped making pull tabs in 1980. So it was at least 14-year-old beer. It was one of the few things I didn't think about and/or decide to steal.

I don't think she can throw that out. It might be legally classified as a culturally significant existing artifact.

Kitchen Classics.... Yup it's a classic alright!

Kitchen Classics to be sure!

It's still new! It says it right on the box.
