Would you use this........

Lurking at the back of my cupboard I found a box of Betty Crockers carrot cake mix - all you need to add is egg and oil (if I remember correctly). The only thing is - its best before date is June 2000 :eek: I havent even lived in this house for 9 years so goodness knows - it must have moved with us :rotfl:

It must just be flour and sugar and flavourings in there. Not sure if I should chance it or chuck it.....

I'd imagine it's probably safe to eat, but the flour's probably very stale by now and I wouldn't think it'll taste particularly good. I'd chuck it, personally!

If you dont want to waste the product, use it as wallpaper paste!

I wouldn't eat it, as it'll certainly taste very stale - I think it would be a waste of the egg

Shame though!

TBH, I wouldn't have eaten it, even back in 2000

i must admit i wouldnt eat it, BUT.. i would def not chuck it out....

as in a few years this would be ideal just a decor thing for someone's kitchen.

its suprising what things like this bring on ebay. vintage unopened food and household cleaning items...

what are those little things that get in old flour? I want to say woozles but I'm pretty sure that's just my son's Tigger & Pooh addiction confusing me...

Anyway I wouldn't use it because of the woozles.

Weevils, possibly? (I prefer the Winnie the Pooh version, though!:rotfl:)

As long as the box is well sealed I don't think weevils would be a problem as they wouldn't be able to get in to the flour - and any that were in there to start with must have died of old age by now, surely.

I have lots of things in my cupboards which are out of date but I think I'd give this one a miss. If you don't want to waste it, why not cook it anyway next time you've got the oven on, rather than waste fuel for a separate exercise, and throw it out for the birds? I'm sure they won't be so fussy as we are!
