I don’t remember the last time I actually went trick-or-treating, but I really hope that all the candy that I got was up to date and not super old like the candy below.
A Twitter user named Adrian Johnson decided to share some biscuits that his kids got while out trick-or-treating on Halloween — a biscuit that he noticed expired way back in 1999. Take a look at the tweet below.
Think I’ve just eaten a biscuit (from a packet given to our kids while trick or treating) that went out of date 18 years ago. Not joking. pic.twitter.com/JTj9adVlKY

A few important questions I have: 1) why the hell are people giving biscuits/cookies on Halloween? 2) who the hell has 18-year-old food stored away?
Well Twitter had to chime in of course. Take a look at some of the best responses below:
Holy crap!!!! Where did you get that from?! Dodgy corner shop?

The biscuits must have tasted stale at least… even if there wasn’t visible mould. They expired during Star Wars The Phantom Menace.

This is definitely old. The packaging doesn’t even look like this anymore https://t.co/yyo177ezbv

Well it does say on the packaging that they are ‘the original’…

who the hell can keep digestive biscuits in the pantry for 18 years. 18 minutes is a record in our house.

Wow…food bought during the Clinton administration. Before phones took pictures or texted or had apps.

No. Horrendous. I wretched into the sink. But I’m alive this morning

Think it was innocent mistake. It was from an older couple over the road from our house. Though our kids are quite noisy.

Always look out for those evil old folks.
