Last week, entrepreneurial reader Aaron went to his local Acme supermarket outside of Philadelphia to pick up some yummy, delicious, Edys' ice cream. Except what he brought home wasn't neither yummy nor scrumptious because it was 8 months past its sell-by date.
They had my new favorite flavor that is kinda hard to find (Hot Cocoa,its like Rocky Road without the nuts.) And it was on sale, so I also bought some Cherry Chocolate Chip.
When I got home and helped myself to my treat, the ice-cream was bad and I dumped out the bowl. The Cocoa flavor was just freezer burned. The Cherry on the other hand was blatant fetid. I knew I wanted to either take them back to the store or write to Edys',so I kept the containers.
Edy’s feedback form asks for expiration date and UPC code, so I jotted it down. When I noticed the Expiration Dates. The Cocoa was not expired yet (4/25). But the Cherry had, last year 7/22/09 almost 8 months past due.
