A few days ago, I wrote about when to trash your peanut butter - but what about cough drops? In this video, a reader of the Mike Industries blog eats a 50 year old cough drop!
The Pine Bros. cough drop is no longer made. However, Mike found some on eBay. After washing off a strange white film that had developed on it, the taster claimed that it was as good as he remembered.
I am opposed to eating any cough drop when I don't have a cough (let alone a 50 year old one), but to each his own.

I used to LOVE those as a kid. I don't think I'd eat a 50 year old one, though. I'd hate to have to explain that at the ER. Supposedly Airborne's Gummi Sore Throat lozenges are similar.

The only thing about this video that I find of note, is that after he puts the sticky cough drop in his mouth, he wipes his hands on his trousers. Now, imagine his 50 year old trousers with all the crap on them, which he wiped across them. Now those I wouldn't try.
