I saw a Facebook page that mentioned the 'Jewish Expiration date conspiracy' just before. Has anyone heard of this before?

Sounds like it is accusing Jews of stealing money by putting expiration dates on things. I guess nobody on that page has actually tried drinking milk that is a few days past its use by date.

Those damn evil Jews! Stealing our money by telling us when food is no longer safe to eat!

Pretty ridiculous.

I think putting "expiration dates" on non-perishable items (chips, soft drink cans, batteries etc.) is silly, but it's not a conspiracy.

I recently found a box of croutons in the back of my pantry. Expiration date was April 2005. I ate them on a salad and they were totally fine.

There's a difference between a true "expiration date" and a "sell by" date. If a can of Pepsi is "best by" July 2009, if you happened to drink it today it's not like it would taste much different than one that was "fresh."

At this rate, someone will say nails sticking up out of floorboards are a conspiracy.

Oh look guys, this conspiracy theory is best if used by July 12, 1998:

It's so funny searching for stuff on old usenet posts.
