Retro Ketchup

Retro ketchup?

Does anybody remember these old ketchup packets from McDonald’s? I was given these today when I got some breakfast before work. Gross! I didn’t use them. Ketchup expires sometime, right?

According to here, 5 months. =) Isn’t Rotten Ronnies into the business of stamping the best before date on the back of the packet?

I don’t think they stamp a “best before” date on ketchup packets and stuff. If anything, I think they just put that on the box. The food chain should pull it if they’re expired, right? :lol:

You hope they pull them. Anywho… I did check some of the packets I picked up this weekend from McDicks and found a best before date stamped on ‘em.

Maybe a canuckian thing?

I bet you could sell those on eBay!

Probably a “Canuckian” thing, yeah. I chucked them, so I won’t sell them, no. Haha!

All food that can go bad and is sold must have a sell by date (and/or use by date).

Are u sure they didn’t just change the look?

I’m 99% sure they didn’t just change the look. It wouldn’t say © 1986 if that was all that happened.
