Reply to comment by ho1doncaulfield in You were right about the RepublicRd Price Cutter, this water expired December 1924. I don't understand how they are missing these dates smh by Rough-Dust-3926

Yeah I enjoy it too, I've never had any problems there but after some of the posts I've seen I will be keeping an eye on dates. I usually buy something if the date has passed and it is still good. I know others who can't bring themselves to eat something if the numbers are wrong

But what if the logic to come up with "the numbers" is wrong? You're directly contributing to massive amounts of excessive and unnecessary waste. Please reach out to your local library for resources on anything and everything, including date formatting.

I'm contributing to the waste because I buy and eat the products that are past the date? Please explain that one to me.

As soon as you're able to comprehend that this bottle of water is not expired then holla. Maybe we can talk then.

I think you may be confused. I am buying and eating the "expired" products because others can't bring themselves to do it. I'm begging you, please oh overlord of Springfield, educate me on how proactively reducing waste is actually increasing it!

le sigh here we go.

When you perpetuate misinformation to protect your friends that won't eat expired foods, you're literally encouraging them to throw away food within the dates. Best of luck in your new perspective.

Edit: spell correct "good" to "food"

I would like to extend and apology to you. It was not my intention to cause you any distress. You see, I try to purchase the expired goods so they don't get thrown away by the store. A lot of people don't know this but they are almost always still good to eat. I understand how that could be discomforting to you but it is important we all do our part to take care of the world we live in.

Apology accepted, but assure I'm not under distress and greatly appreciate your efforts on salvaging food. I exhibit the same behaviors when shopping. This just happens to be where I've spent my Sunday morning and the most time on Reddit in years.

All the best to you and thank you for your efforts. Every little bit does help.

You have entirely missed the point of this post. It’s meant to be satire. It’s supposed to be funny. Then you go out of your way to argue about a point that has nothing to do with OP’s post.

You need some help in reading comprehension. I’m not trying to be rude but do you have a learning disability?

I apologize for being overly sassy, but I still really hope you can resolve this date misunderstanding.

When you're ready we can talk about plastic packaging, particularly water bottles. Oh wait. I don't have the time or energy, nor is it my job to explain this to you. I encourage you to leverage a library. Put your hard-earned tax dollars to work.
