Found this in my fridge earlier and wanted opinions, does the best-by date really apply to thermal paste? It hasn’t been opened yet

Only use that on old CPUs. It was for heating them up since they couldn’t function well when cold. :smiley:

Wow. Glad you got pictures for the memories, but please throw that away without opening it. Who knows what kind of monstrosity has been growing in there… give it an inch, and it might get out and burn down the house.

Whoh! So Awesome! I remember that! Truly a collectors item :100:

The Best by date is one thing but the “Will become Sentient by___” is the date ya really wanna watch.

You don’t happen to have a CyroFreeze chamber to preserve that indefinitely do ya?

@Josh-J-Spiceworks and @Sean-Spiceworks are cooking something up in the community lab that this may be perfect for!

I have a son who might be brave (reckless?) enough to try it :scream: … except … he isn’t into spicy foods :no_entry_sign: :hot_pepper: , so would likely give it a hard pass for that reason. :rofl:

How big is your fridge, you’ve not got one of those magic budwiser light fridges have you?

reminds me of that 6 year old jar of ‘chilli jam’ we found in a desk once - we were not brave enough to open it.

If you do decide to open it and taste it be sure to post a video on YouTube of the event. You might as well get some views in while you’re suffering.

I mean, that would be funny… if you survived. I think that’s the questionable part here. :slight_smile:

Well, I would not advise eating a large portion initially as a precaution. :joy:
