EXPIRED

There are many meanings for EXPIRED or EXPIRY(expiration) DATES. But the first thing that comes in most of our mind is FOOD.

It is always a good habit to check on the product's expiry dates before buying anything. Shelf life is different from expiration date; the former relates to food quality, the latter to food safety. A product that has passed its shelf life might still be safe, but quality is no longer guaranteed.

Therefore, in conclusion, when it comes to FOOD,
EXPIRED PRODUCTS = NOT SAFE!


Other meanings for EXPIRED or EXPIRY(expiration) DATES are:
- an end or termination
- to become extinct
- the event of dying or departure from life
- to lose validity

How wonderful it would be if there's no such thing as EXPIRY DATES. We will be able to enjoy the food/product as long as we wanted, just like enjoying one another's company forever.
