Would you eat it?

[BmillsSkier]

I have an unopened pack of Hebrew National franks in the fridge.

It feels like a lunchtime grilling day.

I think I bought them sometime last July. They say they expired around November.

They look ok, I mean what's the worst that could happen?

[Cruiser]

I'd do the sniff test. If they're real funky then it's a no-go for sure.

[DJSapp]

Can't be worse than a DD steak.

There's always that chance you end up on the toilet a lot and a snake bites your penis.

Definitely not. Nitrates are not superhuman.

I am also considering elderly hot dogs from the back of the fridge for lunch. I say we just count to 3, each eat our rancid baloney meat tubes, and agree to check back in in 10 hours. Whoever doesn't die or get severe diarrhea wins!

^^^How will we know if someone died, had their public library computer privileges revoked, or just quit this place?

[NW_SKIER]

If you get the shits, be sure and use the third floor bathroom

Personally, saving $3 isn't enough reason to risk pissing out my ass for 8 hours, but I'm not much of a gambler.

This - lol

[FLS]

Perfectly sane food to eat...

[shredthenektar]

When in doubt go for it and report back!

Boil them, it's the best way to know they're safe.

Challenge accepted.

You guys have given me a lot to consider. But I've checked for snakes, made sure the 3rd floor bathroom is unoccupied, and will spend the 3 bucks I saved on DD's boiled meats godundme.

Stick them in the autoclave for a few minutes while your nurse is busy. That way not only will they be sanitized they should be at serving temperature.

only if you get the internal temp over 212 for 10 minutes or so (don't quote me on that).
In the fridge, not freezer for 6 months--throw away.

Send the local constabulary to the public library for a welfare-check on Oscar Mayer-deranged vagrants. Easy-peasy. Assume no quitters unless Rob Story has douched the place out again.

I agree with the boiling. As long as you use some expired 250 million year old pink salt in the water you should be fine.

Dang, Buster! Digging deep for Zippy the Pinhead.


Don't eat that old hotdog.

I second this.

Flash em. Youll be gtg.

All the world is but a blur of polysorbate 80, Republicans and meat.

Early reports:

The Hebrew Nationals smelled exactly as they should - like glorious nitrate tubes that aren't 5 months past their boil-by-date. No slime either. Grilled up nicely and put down two just to make it official.

I'll update as the afternoon presses on.

I think you've been hacked by DD.
