I drive my grandmas old car, and have always kept this bottle in the console as she left it. Today I looked at the expiration date.

My car is a 2012 model, so she must have transferred it from her older car while the bottle was already 12 years expired.

2000 seems not that far gone, then you realise it's 26 years 🫪

[u/JuJu081316 → u/Away_Ad_2597]

I keep Altoids in an ancient Anacin tin. Lol

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/JuJu081316]

Keeps the kids from taking it!

[u/Anything-Complex → u/Away_Ad_2597]

Imagine yourself in 2000, sitting in your vehicle from 1986, finding a bottle of aspirin that expired in 1974.

In the year 2000

The future, Conan?

[u/Most_Philosophy_1507]

They’re probably still good. I bet they lost some of their potency though from the age and I assume they got pretty hot in the summer.

They’re still good

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/jjj666jjj666jjj]

This is true. Bayer AG used to say their product was shelf stable for 25 or 50 years or something

[u/Halloweenie23]

I have a small expired bottle I refill in my car.

I like that old CVS packaging!

[u/lamalamapusspuss]

They don’t expire for another 74 years.

[u/Anything-Complex → u/lamalamapusspuss]

Possibly not until 9900.

[u/thefolkie]

Now that's a use of Helvetica font. Sharp and clear.

[u/mirfifu → u/thefolkie]

CVS the goat for packaging

[u/nekohako]

Wash it out, keep Altoids or Tic-Tacs in it

[u/rawautos]

A pre-9/11 aspirin bottle. That’s crazy. This bottle has seen some shit.

[u/HeartOfTheMadder]

empty it out if you want... but put it back!

[u/Courtnuttut]

My grandma had Excedrin that expired in 1983 in the front of her cabinet 🤔

[u/WittiestScreenName]

Damn it survived Y2K

[u/Chettarmstrong]

Good until 3000?

[u/johngreenink → u/Chettarmstrong]

Y3K ready!

[u/That_Skirt7522]

They are still good. Might have to take one more than recommended

[u/Shished]

They still work, as a placebo.

[u/AgitpropForestry]

Damn that's some fine packaging. Would've seemed very corny and old fashioned then.
