comment
A comedy trope, in which a character buys, sells, or consumes food products that expired a comically long time ago, years, decades, or even centuries in the past. It may have come from the fridge. For the horrible consequences that usually follow, see The Food Poisoning Incident, though some people avoid food poisoning incidents by employing Unconventional Food Usage and using it for non-eating purposes. Contrast Indestructible Edible and Inexplicably Preserved Dungeon Meat.

In Nancy Drew Danger on Deception Island, Katie Firestone has some mayonnaise that expired in 1994 (to put this into perspective, the game was released in 2003). If you eat it or feed it—or give it to someone else—you/they get food poisoning and the game ends.

The end of an episode of Fillmore! had all the safety patrollers hanging out at Ingrid's house. O'Farrel is eating raw cookie dough out of a carton that the others remark is decades old. Ingrid goes on to recite the ingredients from memory and reassures him that the dough contains enough preservatives to outlast the Sphinx.

Awkward Zombie
In one hourly comic, Norrin complains to Katie that the only mustard they had was horseradish mustard and that it expired months ago. Katie tells him to stop being a baby and eat it.
In another hourly comic, Katie finds a can of Chef Boyardee that expired in May (this was in October). She shrugs and dumps it into a bowl anyway.

The Naked Gun: Very little food in Frank Drebin's kitchen remains fit for human consumption. His attempt to pour a glass of milk nets him a tumbler filled with huge white chunks and Jane finds a Chinese takeout container from a restaurant that had closed down years before. Frank still opens it up and takes a whiff.

The Simpsons:
In the episode that was making fun of Mary Poppins, we learn that Apu sells products that are over a decade old. "And the clerk who runs the store can charge a little more for milk (for milk) and meat (and meat) from 1984!"
Which we would have remembered from an episode three seasons earlier when Apu loses the Kwik-E-Mart after he makes Homer sick with marked-down expired ham (and later, shrimp).
In "Worst Episode Ever", Homer eats a box of baking soda from the back of the fridge that Marge claims came with the house when she and Homer first bought it after Bart dares him to. He quickly succumbs to a bizarre Mushroom Samba where foods such as a meatball sandwich and a burger floating by a psychadelic background while iconic audio from the past such as the O.J Simpson trial and the Moon Landing plays. Before he eats it, Lisa makes a pre-emptive call to Poison Control.
Homer does this twice with Billy Beer (also mentioned under Web Videos); he finds a can stashed in his old "concert-going jacket" in 1992's "The Otto Show" and happily chugs it down (Billy Beer was discontinued in 1978), and in 1997's "Lisa The Skeptic", reveals he's been keeping a whole six-pack of the stuff as a collectible. Surprisingly, neither time does he suffer from drinking a 15-20 year old beer that wasn't all that good in the first place.
In "The Bart of War", Bart and Milhouse drink a "40-year-old novelty beverage" they find in Ned Flanders' Beatles shrine and experience a Mushroom Samba.
In "The Man Who Grew Too Much", when Lunchlady Doris reveals to Lisa that the vegetables she uses are genetically modified to stay fresh, she tells her not to ask how old the Jell-O is. There are two trays of gelatin cut into letters to promote the Grand Finale of M*A*S*H in 1983 and the Atlanta Olympics in 1996; the episode aired in 2014, so the trays would've respectively been around 31 and 18 years old.
A classic joke from "Selma's Choice" revolved around Homer bringing home a giant party sub sandwich from a company picnic, and kept eating it over the course of several weeks, even as it began to spoil. Finally, it was visibly rotting and covered in fungus, and he still wouldn't stop trying to eat it. It finally came back to bite him when he got food poisoning and couldn't visit Duff Gardens. Even then, Marge finally had to put her foot down and make him throw the sandwich out.
In "30 Minutes Over Tokyo", the Simpsons go grocery shopping at a 33 Cents Store so they can save for a vacation, and Homer eats a can of plankton, which expired three years previously, according to the Mexican Council of Health. He immediately succumbs to Red Tide Poisoning.
In "Lisa Gets an A", Homer asks Lisa for help digging around the Ben And Jerry's ice cream fridge because he doesn't want anything "made of dead guys" (which ironically includes the company's best seller, Cherry Garcia, named after Jerry Garcia, dead for three years when the episode aired). He ends up pushing Lisa all the way to the back, and does not find the flavor she comes back with appetizing - "Sherbet Hoover". In case you don't get it, that particular flavor would be named after former U.S President Herbert Hoover - dead since 1964!

In one chapter of Superwomen of Eva: American Dream, Mari Makinami (a.k.a. Captain America - It's a Long Story) eats an MRE that has been packed with her gear by SHIELD and remarks that It Tastes Like Feet, but dismisses it as it being typical of Meals Ready to Eat. An Omake late in the chapter (which may not be canon) explains that some SHIELD agents who don't like her took the MREs from a surplus marked for disposal and that had been lying around in the Helicarrier's stores since at least Second Impactnote read: they had expired at least 15 years ago.

Brad Tries... is all about the titular host consuming food and drink that's either from exotic countries or was discontinued decades ago, like Crystal Pepsi from 1993 for example. Of particular note was his episode on Billy Beer, a beer from the '70s which had been promoted by Billy Carter, brother of then-U.S President Jimmy Carter. Not only was he risking getting ill from the beer, he risked getting tetanus from the can.

One episode of Teen Titans Go! has Cyborg and Beast Boy have a staring contest to determine who gets the last slice of a pizza. Cyborg wins and tries to eat the slice, only to discover that it's extremely moldy and rotten. It's only when they exit the restaurant that they realize that 30 years have passed while they were staring at the slice.

Naruto: In an early episode/chapter, Naruto finds himself running for the toilet constantly throughout the entire episode with diarrhea, which gets in the way of his attempts to trick Sakura by disguising himself as Sasuke. At the end of the episode, Hiruzen is showing Naruto's apartment to Kakashi, who notices that the carton of milk Naruto drank that morning was way past its expiration date.

In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, it's possible to find spoiled milk as a dropped item. It "expired three years ago". Drinking it normally will do a flat 33% of your max health, more at lower levels, but equipping a soul (Flesh Golem in Aria, Ghoul in Dawn) will make it palatable, turning it into one of the best healing items in the game.

Parodied in Fallout 4 with the Perfectly Preserved Pie, a random drop you can get from the Food-O-Matic machines. Unlike other pre-war food which is either sealed up in containers or reduced to mold dust, the Pie has been sitting in pristine condition exposed to the elements for 200 years. Understandably, several followers tell you to avoid it.

Corner Gas:
Hank and Brent find a "Dingle Puff" with an expiry date in 1973. Oscar plays a prank on them by making them think he ate it and pretending it made him delirious. Then Brent and Hank discover he was just pranking them and prank him back by making him think he actually ate it by mistake instead of the decoy he prepared. Then Emma actually does eat it, but the episode ends before we find out what happens to her.
Crossing over with Comically Missing the Point, Brent bought a bottle of 20-year-old scotch on his 20th birthday and hid it in the basement, intending to let it age for another 20 years and celebrate his 40th birthday with the now 40-year-old scotch. When the day arrives, he looks for the bottle and can't find it. Turns out Emma had found it not long after he put it there, assumed it was expired due to its age, and threw it out.

Rocko's Modern Life:
In "Trash-O-Madness", Rocko finds in his fridge a mysterious tub that's so old it's covered with dust, and when he blows off the dust it reads "Buy War Bonds." (Rocko is a young adult and the series takes place in the early 1990s.) All that's left in the tub is a large green moldy blob that Spunky decides is an excellent chew toy.
In "Love Spanked", Rocko pours himself a bowl of cereal. The milk is rancid, but he eats it anyway and thinks nothing of it.
In "Future Schlock", Filburt has been keeping a banana in Rocko's refrigerator for seventeen years, as he put it in there the last time he saw Rocko and Heffer before they were blasted off into space by a monkey who was a test subject for Conglom-O. When Gilbert and Norbert, Filburt's children, find it, they come to Filburt so he can tell them about it.

Cowboy Bebop:
A box of emergency rations expired a year before the episode they appear in, "Mushroom Samba", gives Faye a case of the trots because she ate the entire crate. She denies having eaten them until she suddenly has to rush for the toilet.
The episode "Toys in the Attic" is what happens when lobster is left in the fridge too long. It becomes a mobile case of food poisoning that nearly kills the entire crew.

In a Garfield strip, Jon claims that he looked danger right in the face and laughed. Garfield then lets the readers know that Jon drank milk that was past the expiration date.
The Coleslaw that Time Forgot is implied to be this by the name alone.

Married... with Children had Al intentionally eating expired food on occasion, due to his usual Too Hungry to Be Polite manner given how Peg never goes grocery shopping and if she does, it's usually for herself. In one episode, he finds a cereal in the cupboard called "Cocoa Lumps" that says "Best Sold Before 1989" (the episode took place in 1993) which he then surmises that it's good for him because he's eating it instead of selling it.

In one episode, Kramer eats an ancient hot dog from the concession stand of a really old movie theater, to which the cashier responds "Are you out of your mind? That hot dog's been here since the silent era, you'd have to be insane to eat it." Predictably, Kramer becomes rather ill after tasting it.

Total Drama:
In the penultimate episode of the first season, the semifinalists get a special treat: pancakes made with ingredients "relatively close to their expiration date". The implication is that the food they usually get fits this trope.
When the teams merge in Pahkitew Island, the first part of their first challenge is to drink expired meat shakes called Juggy Chunks. According to Chef, they expired in 1978.

According to Schlock Mercenary, 20th and 21st century MREs stop going bad after about 70 years, and start very slowly getting better: the 1987-issue Chicken Patty (the "boot heel" which was originally best eaten suddenly, in a surprise assault, or better yet, thrown at the enemy) is particularly exquisite, having turned into a sweet, fluffy pudding by A.D. 2430, and into an actual mousse by 2890

Happens twice in Scott The Woz:
"New Super Mario Bros. | What's New Is Old" opens with Scott drinking (and spitting out) milk that he left outside but never opened for a week, believing that not opening it makes it technically still "new."
"Game Foods" ends with Scott eating a can of Super Mario soup, not realizing until it was too late that the soup expired 3 years prior. He ended up being admitted to the hospital again.

All Pre-War Food in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas is this, since it's aged more than 200 years. No horrible consequences, however, because it was hyper-processed crap made of artificial preservatives, sterilized by intense radiation. Unless you count consuming trace amounts of radioactive isotopes to be horrible consequences, but that's true of all the food in the Wasteland, even the newly-cooked stuff.

In "So Many Birthdays", Amethyst casually eats a moldy, 5-year-old tuna burrito without giving any thought about it. A few moments later, she clenches her stomach and doubles over, all while Pearl is explaining that the Gems can never die of old age...or food poisoning.
When the gems return home in "Steven Floats" after spending weeks staying at the barn, Steven opens the fridge and immediately reels back from the stink.

Seinfeld:
In one episode, Kramer eats an ancient hot dog from the concession stand of a really old movie theater, to which the cashier responds "Are you out of your mind? That hot dog's been here since the silent era, you'd have to be insane to eat it." Predictably, Kramer becomes rather ill after tasting it.
After developing a craving for eating cake in the afternoon, Elaine sneaks into her boss's office and eats a piece of cake she finds in his mini-fridge... not knowing until after the fact that it was left over from the wedding of King Edward VIII in 1937, and a valuable collector's item that Peterman paid $29,000 for. When he catches her on the security camera, he calls her into his office.

Parodied in Fallout 4 with the Perfectly Preserved Pie, a random drop you can get from the Food-O-Matic machines. Unlike other pre-war food which is either sealed up in containers or reduced to mold dust, the Pie has been sitting in pristine condition exposed to the elements for 200 years. Understandably, several followers tell you to avoid it.

The League of Gentlemen. In order to steal weapons from an army training camp, the robbers do the Surprise Inspection Ruse, claiming that the area commander has received complaints about the food. The commanding officer runs about in a panic trying to get everything shipshape for his arrival, and orders the cook to take tinned fruit from the officer's mess and serve it up to the troops. After he leaves, the cook says he shouldn't get excited as the stuff was probably tinned for the Boer War.

The Loud House:
When the Loud siblings visit their mom's Aunt Ruth, she feeds them pudding from old canisters that she keeps at her house. One of those canisters, as pointed out by Lisa (the second-youngest sibling and a Child Prodigy) has an American flag with only 48 stars on it, meaning the pudding was made sometime between February 14th of 1912 (when Arizona became an official state) and January 3rd of 1959 (when Alaska became an official state). Assuming the episode took place in 2016 (the year it aired), the pudding that Ruth was feeding to Lincoln and his sisters could've been anywhere from 58 to 104 years old.
Another episode has Lincoln drinking what he thinks is root beer, only for Clyde to reveal that is in fact Dr. Peabody's Onion Elixir from 1812! Cue a Spit Take.
Flip of Flip's Food and Fuel is infamous for selling expired food by tampering with the expiration dates.

In one Lupin III: Part II episode, Lupin steals a two-century-old bottle of rare French wine that was laid down by Napoleon, and was to be given as a gift to the President of the United States, swapping it out with a cheap bottle of store-bought wine. After a successful heist, Lupin watches the president drinking the cheap wine and calling it "remarkable" on TV. The gang then laugh to themselves, and try a glass of the real wine...but find that it hadn't been aged properly and turned to vinegar.

In Kim's Convenience, Mr. Kim is annoyed when his daughter Janet takes down the expired ravioli he was trying to sell at their titular store and attempts to prove they're still fine by eating one of the cans. Sure enough, he at least gets a scare when he makes frequent trips to the bathroom that day and gets sick (it also turns out Mrs. Kim's galbijjim, which both he and the sick Janet ate, went bad too, so it's not 100% clear if the ravioli also had any effect or not).

Agrias then asks what year did he buy them; Ronnie says that he was looking forward to seeing The Matrix, and the strip was published in 2018, making the chocolates 19 years old.
A milder example in this strip, where Ronnie finds a jug of milk in his fridge that had expired almost 6 months earlier.

Tim Buckley's Ctrl+Alt+Del comic from 4 February 2003 has Ethan consuming breakfast cereal that expired in May 1985. Lucas hypothesizes that consuming mold-culture cereal has made Ethan more delusional and sociopathic than usual. Said cereal was the long-discontinued Nintendo Cereal System brand, which has never run out despite Ethan eating from the same box for years because Lucas thinks it has been reproducing inside the box.

The Amazing World of Gumball
In "The Microwave", one of the components of the gross jar is a piece of rotten milk. Richard almost eats it, but it tastes terrible, so Gumball holds out the jar for him to spit into.
Inverted in "The Hero" when Darwin and Gumball buy a bunch of near-expired food sold for a discount. The instant it reaches its expiration date, the food not only becomes inedible but is destroyed completely in seconds: the eggs hatch into chicken, meat is devoured by maggots, and a canned rat spontaneously comes back to life and runs away.
In "The Game", Nicole cleans out the boys' room, which includes some food. She asks them what was in a glass she found and is told it's milk. When she turns the whole thing over, it slowly slides out as one piece, with Gumball amending that it's a glass of cheese. Then it finally dislodges from the cup, crashes straight through the floor, and practically caves in Richard's head. Gumball amends it's a glass of stone. Afterwards, there is a moldy slice of pizza that is so old it sprouts legs, screeches, and crawls out the window.
In "The Procrastinators", Gumball finds an old chocolate bar in the sofa. Darwin says it's so bad that it must've turned into cheese chocolate. Gumball forces it down and throws it back up on Darwin.

In "The Pantry!", Bowser Junior and Cody accidentally lock themselves in a pantry. While looking for something to drink in it, Junior comes across unrefrigerated milk that has been stored in the pantry for two years, which he mistakes for Mountain Dew due to how green it is.

Ozzy & Drix:
In the pilot episode, Ozzy identifies Frank's midnight snack as "jalapeños, refried beans, and nacho cheese way past the expiration date."
In "Gas of Doom", among the food at Hector's school there's the twelve-bean casserole which everyone deliberately avoids. After being dared to try the casserole, Hector actually enjoys it but later sees the lunch lady throwing it out because it was going to expire in March. Reading the label on the can, Hector informs her that the expiration date was for March of last year.

Team Fortress 2 has Soldier, who by the time of the Pyromania update was left homeless (kicked out by his Monster Roommate, the comically Inept Mage Merasmus) and reduced to being a deranged, violent hobo. Where he previously survived on a diet of fast food ribs, army surplus soup, and stolen heart medication, he ends up eating out of old cans of expired army surplus soup. The game takes place in 1968, so for the soup to be army surplus (and therefore not from what would be considered current, Vietnam-era stock) it must have been canned during the Korean War at the earliest and therefore is a minimum of 15 years past its canning date. The game uses this for comedy at Soldier's expense, mostly to mock his moronic and jingoistic ways—he's been shown stealing other items that are of more current vintage, but he is so dedicated to the pretense of having been in the US Army that he will gladly eat the outdated rations, no matter what unseen distress may follow.

In Accel World, the heroes stop by Sky Raker's home in Brain Burst a place that she hasn't visited in two years. Since one second in the real world is equal to 1,000 seconds in Brain Burst, Sky Raker warns the others that the food is two millennia out of date.

Brawl in the Family uses this for a gag about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The strip begins with Link being woken up by Rauru after seven years to continue his fight against Ganondorf. Then Rauru suddenly notices a foul smell coming from Link, who pulls out an extremely rancid 7-year-old bottle of Lon Lon Milk. This is in contrast to the actual game, where Lon Lon Milk you get as a child will still be drinkable in the adult timeline.

There is a video out there (on YouTube) where purely for scientific interest, two willing volunteers prepare and consume a twelve-year-old Pot Noodle found in the forgotten dark depths of a food cupboard. What worried them was that while it looked grey and unappetizing, it still tasted broadly as if it were still fresh. Preservatives are there for a purpose, it seems...

In "The Man Who Grew Too Much", when Lunchlady Doris reveals to Lisa that the vegetables she uses are genetically modified to stay fresh, she tells her not to ask how old the Jell-O is. There are two trays of gelatin cut into letters to promote the Grand Finale of M*A*S*H in 1983 and the Atlanta Olympics in 1996; the episode aired in 2014, so the trays would've respectively been around 31 and 18 years old.

A scenario similar to the aforementioned Day of the Tentacle was also used in Season 2 of Sam & Max: Freelance Police. In that case, upon traveling back in time, Sam would have to deliberately leave a bottle of wine open for years in order for it to become the vinegar used to solve a puzzle.

In the T.U.F.F. Puppy episode, "Doom and Gloom", Snaptrap and his henchmen are arrested for robbing the gumball machine at the bus station and imprisoned for three to five years. When they are released from prison, Snaptrap finds a carton of milk he bought before he got arrested on his table, which has gone bad from sitting out for three to five years. He makes Francisco drink it to see if it's still fresh, and Francsico gets sick as a result. After his former D.O.O.M teammates turn against him, Snaptrap says he doesn't need them anyway, since he's the only smart one. Immediately afterwards, he finds some three to five-year-old guacamole, eats it, and gets sick.

In his Reddit AMA, Stefán Karl Stefánsson (who played Robbie Rotten in LazyTown), once relayed a story about how one time a scene called for Robbie to eat a piece of cake, and they used cream from a spray can to make the prop, however, when Stefán bit into the cake, it tasted horrible. Turns out the cream expired years ago.

Fighting Fantasy: In The Citadel of Chaos, the player character comes across a kitchen and pantry at one point, where they're given the option of trying some of the stored cheese, meat or bread. The cheese is stated to be in bad shape judging by the smell, but ironically, eating some of the least spoiled bits actually restores Stamina. In fact, it's the only food in the pantry that's edible, as both the meat and the bread is supernaturally inedible; the (cooked and salted) meat is somehow still alive, and will cause Stamina damage trying to break out of your stomach until it's digested, and the bread curses whoever eats it with an unnatural thirst that leads to Skill damage.
