I definitely did not make these delicious looking pancakes.
But I did get a mass email forward that I would typically ignore but the subject line said “Pancakes” so how was I going to pass up a riveting subject like that. It basically told this story about some lady who made her family pancakes from expired pancake mix without realizing it, and how her son said “these taste funny” but ate all of them, and then he died.
It turns out that pancake mix, once expired, can grow some super gnarly mold it grows and people can die from it. Obviously this is horrifying, especially if you read the last post about how I sometimes rebel against expiration dates.
It’s a scary world out there. Death by pancakes? I just wish they had a more believable or legit expiry date system. Its like, some stuff you can’t go one second past (read pancakes) but other stuff (eggs hopefully, oh and Brita filters) you can push a few or even several days. FDA get on it!
