The signs of ageing

Hands up the guilty!

I've just seen an advert, if your Shwartz spices have a beige lid, it means that they are at least seven years old :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

most of mine do:o but then I do refill the jars when they run out so no idea how old the herbs and spices in them actually are:rotfl:

My mom is even worse shes had most of her jars for 30+ years and knowing her some of the contents are probably that old too:rotfl::rotfl:

Now that is creative advertising, how to get everyone to chuck out their perfectly good stuff and buy more of the same

Next thing will be "special edition" or similar hoo hah

I just had to get up and look. Mine are either a rusty orangey colour, or purple. I'm safe.

And this should bother me why?? You use up, not throw away!

Guilty as charged, m'lord

I wasn't aware they'd even changed the lid colours!

Guilty, but we do refill them

When we were clearing out my mother's house after she died, in the medicine cabinet was found the original bar of Glicken's Salve that I remember as a kid 40 years ago. It used to be used as a cure for earache - melt some salve in a spoon, pour into ear and then put in cotton wool to keep it in.
