Just last night, I opened up a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup (Mmm mmm good). It had this funny taste to it (very different from the can I had two days ago). I look carefully and it has a slightly darker tone to it.

I pull the can out of the trash, and the date printed on it was "Dec 2002"

Expiration date, sell by date, born on date.... every which way, that's way beyond for even me.

Now my question.... was it from the store, or was it in my cupboard all this time until now, while it slowly migrated its way forward like a brazil nut?
