Skyliving_Dave 0 #1 April 19, 2005 This is in the true spirit of all those random 'facts' you hear from people in drinking establishments, ie you breathe through your skin in freefall and all those other 'true' stories whuffos like to tell us. Someone down the pub told me that Mars Bars could safely have a best before date 250 years in the future because there's so much sugar and preservative in them. Apparently they put something realistic on the wrapper instead as people would think it was a mistake or freak out about it somehow. I'm not saying this was from some scientist, or that I actually believe it but I thought I'd toss this one out there and see if it pops up on the bullshit detectors... Who believes it and who doesn't? Who knows the answer? Who wants a Mars Bar? These are the questions I need answered! -------------------------------------------------- 'Everybody needs a mate called Dave' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #2 April 19, 2005 I don't know anything about Mars Bars but I remember my science teacher had a twinky in his desk from when my MOM was in his class twenty some odd years earlier. He said it would never go bad and he showed me it was still squishy. That was 15 years ago for me and he still has it in his desk and shows his students now. That freakin Twinky is at least 35 years old AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEW! One time I threw a half eaten Drum Stick Ice cream cone thing in my trash and three days later I looked and it was still in there, not melted, formed just like it was still frozen ice cream. What the hell do they put in those things? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyliving_Dave 0 #3 April 19, 2005 The question is though, would you eat a twinky that's older than you are? If not, what would it take to persuade you? Would you do it for a free jump? Free - it's my favourite price -------------------------------------------------- 'Everybody needs a mate called Dave' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
