eternal life

Until now, I thought that honey was the only food that never expires. 

Smithsonian.com even notes honey's eternal shelf life.  "A slew of factors—its acidity, its lack of water and the presence of hydrogen peroxide—work in perfect harmony, allowing the sticky treat to last forever."

I did know that honey never goes bad.  But today, I am surprised to learn that certain bread products can last forever too.

I am making a tuna sandwich and check the expiration date on the pocket rolls I bought at Fairway last week.

I guess an expiration date of February 30 is the same as no expiration date at all! I can only guess at the slew of factors that have given this product its eternal life.
