How do you know when miracle whip has gone bad?

**eeigh33** · 08-19-2002, 07:38 PM

I made tuna salad for dinner. I hate mayo and the like, but put 2 tbsp in it. Anyway, after doing so, I noticed the expiration date being August 2, 2002. I asked my hubby about it. He smelled it and said it smelled fine. I would not know, because I hate the smell. Anyway, we ate it. Now I am worried about it...hehee...Hubby said, that just means sell by date. It had been opened in the fridge for that long...what do you all think?

I'm sure it was fine. That's only a couple weeks. Unless it was 'weird-looking' I wouldn't know. Mayo etc. doesn't grow mold like sour cream, so I really don't know how you would know if it was bad. But I've had fat-free mayo opened in the frig a year and dahubby still uses it and he's still alive...

LOL!

It should still be good. The date is usually the "sell by" date, it will keep longer.

Thanks Jaybird. I think I just freaked out because I usually do not eat that stuff anyway. Hubby does not care, he at it without hesitation.

Just more proof that JayB is trying to do something bad to EVERY GUY SHE KNOWS.

Hey now Robbieeeeeeeeeeee. He has the option of using my REAL fat-loaded mayo or his heart-healthy, chemically-created, fat-free mayo. Besides, I haven't killed him off yet in 30 years...

YET...

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Just out of curiosity's sake, I went and checked the 'date' on dahubby's jar.
