I don't know about this brand in particular, but hot chocolate products are available all year round. Very few people drink it in mid-july tho. :sweat:

IIRC, the shelf life could be 1 year or two. If not more. They should be safe. :)

Swiss Miss. and i instantly remembered beem's post on the most worth buying hot chocholates.

But then i realized, christmas season is already over!

now i guess you know where they send those left-over hot chocolates :shakehead: . sad...

but then again it might be there since long ago and i just didn't notice. but i'm pretty sure it wasn't there last week

That stuff should have a date code (it does in the States), so look for it before buying...

That's it? I don't eat a lot but even that's too little for me. And I wish I had some bananas so I can make banana cake. :drooling:

me thinks you're confusing the "best if used by" date and the "actual expiration date.

the former will make it not taste as expected, the later could kill you.

Ahhhhh you are correct. It's a matter of staleness.

2chers (members of the 2channel msg board) have picked up on an item in a survey of yakiniku eating habits. Just over 12% of respondents said that they had eaten at a yakiniku restaurant alone. Among people who said they visited such places regularly, the number was slightly higher at 15.8%. It certainly isn't uncommon for people to dine alone: aside from casual or fast food places like ramen shops and "family restaurants" like Denny's, solo diners regularly frequent sushi bars and izakaya counters. The reason the number drew comments is perhaps because eating yakiniku has something of a social image and most restaurant servings are prepared with a couple or group in mind. Many 2chers find the idea odd but see nothing wrong with the practice. Others speculate that the kind of person who would do that would also probably buy themselves valentine chocolates. Around 30% of men in their thirties admitted to eating yakiniku alone.

Hmm, interesting... And a bit sad. :sweat:
