Whats the worst thing you have found in your medicine cabinet? I just dug this out....

[Spaldeen]

Look at what I found! I must have forgotten about it. I didn't think it had been this long since I cleaned it out last so maybe it just got overlooked. Spring cleaning has a way of finding these things I guess.

Yup, you read right. That expiration date says Febuary of 1991! I have a friend who wants to try one. I told him he is nuts! It sparkles in the sun like a crystal.

1. I've done that

[Spaldeen]

4. I found a small suitcase,

about briefcase size, that my husband had in the upstairs bathroom. There were old things in it, like mercurochrome, old ointments that had hardened, and cold remedies much like the ones in your picture. My husband did not want to throw them out, and we got into an argument.

Our adult son happened to drop by. He convinced his dad that all that stuff, if used, could do more harm than good. We threw out all the stuff, including the suitcase.

My husband would be a world class hoarder if we did not stop him. His father was, and what a mess it was to take care of his belongings after he died!

My husband is not the only culprit. I have no doubt that I have a few items in my kitchen cupboards that are long overdue for the trash. Fortunately, I have started dating some of the things I have in there. Food expiration dates can be indecipherable or deceptive.

5. I think I have some herbs and spices whose dates begin with B.C.

[Spaldeen]

6. You too?

11. My daughter has some spices and flavorings that were in my mother's kitchen when she died.

These are little bottles and cans that I remember being in the cupboard when I was learning to cook and I left home in 1966. She has no intention of using these, but displays them with some of the other vintage kitchen items she has collected.

[Spaldeen]

7. I think sometimes

Age just catches up and we really do forget about things. I know I have had to start dating things in the freezer that I have wrapped up. I still find some mystery meats in there now and again.

8. Bush I was president. n/t

[Reter]

9. Possibly Reagan when it was made

Some of those things don't expire for three years or so.

[Spaldeen]

15. I think you are right

It would have been just over two years after Reagan left office that this expired.

10. Take it back to wherever you bought it and tell them you need a refund

You get extra bonus points if you still have the receipt

[Spaldeen]

13. Haha!

That's funny.

[cyberswede]

12. I have some Rx migraine medicine from 1984.

I have no intention of ever using it, but it's a trip to look at it once in a while.

[Spaldeen]

14. Maybe the thought of taking those pills

keeps the migraines at bay?

[Kali]

16. I think there is still a tube of diaper rash cream in there

youngest kid is 25 probably a dried out bottle of ipecac too.

[grilled onions]

17. You know It's Old When...

It was legal when you bought it but it's illegal now.

[Spaldeen]

19. Which ingredient?

I heard they took something out of BC some time ago but didn't think about that until now. Do you know which ingredient?

[LynneSin]

18. I try to clean mine out more than once every 25 years

[Ino]

20. Found some 17-year-old alfalfa seeds

Tended them in a sprout jar and about 75% of them sprouted and grew.

I guess that might be the BEST thing I found though.

[Brother Buzz]

21. A jar of Kirby's croup salve

The Kirby's drugstore closed it's doors in the late thirties.

[Archae]

22. A nose hair trimmer and "Sweet Breath" cinnamon breath spray.

Both over 20 years old and neither were ever used.
Just tossed both.
