50 year old cough drop still tastes good

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.

Now, imagine his 50 year old trousers with all the crap on them, which he wiped across them. Now those I wouldn't try.
