We've all done it - discovered that something in our fridge we really wanted is just a few days past the expiration date. But there's no mold on it, and it doesn't smell funny. Why not take a chance?

Live a little! Enjoy that Twinkie with the wrapper that looks like it dates back to the Carter Administration while you digest our high-quality, preservative-laden podcast.
