Correct. They had a blood bath just after Corona shut down due to a lack of finances (allegedly). Sent home over 60% of staff.

Not sure about that headline you just dropped with the 80% of online / elearning staff. Unless something happened overnight.

They basically gave away over $1m in chocolates that expired.

What day will the Johnnie Walker be expiring?

Chocolate doesn't expire though.

I've seen men on YouTube eating chocolate rations from WWII packaged 75 years ago and it tasting like new. The most it ever gets is "bloom."

you're talking about basic chocolate with cocoa, fat and sugar

When you add milk, fruit flavourings, fillings, cream and all them fancy shiz that all changes and reduces shelf life considerably

[Dizzy28]

There would probably be liability issues selling products past the manufacturers expiry date though

Yes, it does. Milk chocolate goes rancid. Even dark chocolate can spoil due to temperature changes just as wine can.

Youtube is rife with misconceptions portrayed as fact.

How dare you accuse the internet of not being true for everything there..... we have all seen that injecting yourself with Bleach and clorox keeps covid away, as many stupid ameer-ikanz have shown

Late 1980s. Me and some family did some cleaning for a chinese couple who ran a parlour in the neighborhood. All of us were young so they paid us with snacks. Every bar of chocolate had worms. Put me off cheap chocolate brands forever.

Those used to be 0.25c for one when I was growing up.
