      It's really a myth tho, it floats when it gets drier but is still fine as long as it doesn't stink. So if you have eggs you're uncertain about just crack them separately, they'll stink like crazy if actually bad. (They can stay pretty much forever if kept cold enough ime.)

      Home itself is having to finish the first bottle before you start the second, but there's barely any left so it just kinda squirts out and you have to take the lid off to get it out, and by the time you're done with that, your food is cold, and your guests are giving you looks

      @@Invaeyncible Yeah, so this is a weird consequence of American history. Post-WWII the GI Bill and public funding helped a lot of baby boomers go to college for very cheap or even free. Partly to help Americans, but mostly to compete with the Russians during the Cold War and space race.
      As more people started attending, the colleges started adding fees to make up for having more people than they've ever provided for. This guy you might have heard of, Ronald Reagan, saw the tax money going into colleges as welfare and said "Nope, just charge the students like you're already doing."
      So now we have for-profit schools opening up, and all of the people opening up businesses are college grads. So now almost any job requires a degree. This leads to everyone born from the end of Gen X being expected to go into debt just to get a job that's not fast food, and even if you declare bankruptcy, school debt is exempt, so the only ways to get out of it is to pay, or die.

      @@SetiSupreme if you live in europe and also refrigerate them yea they last alot longer than otherwise. In the USA we wash the outer coating off of them so they HAVE to be refrigerated since the shells become more permeable to bacteria after that meaning the cold temp to slow the process is needed, but in other countries where that process isnt done they can last just as long while not refrigerated since they have that natural coating still. So i would imagine a non-american egg that was also refrigerated would be able to last many weeks longer than any other combination

    Retired chef here. Many years ago, I worked on a ship where we took on provisions in Cape Town, South Africa. I was new to this ship, so, I assumed that like other places, they would rotate their incoming provisions to the back, so the oldest food gets used first. (First In, First Out) I put the several cases of old eggs to the front, and put the newer eggs to the back. The next morning, I was preparing breakfast, when another cook came up and asked me which eggs I was using. I told him, and he informed me that I should immediately throw out anything I had used those eggs in, because the had been in there for over a year. As I got down to the next flat of eggs, I could see that the shells were moldy!

      With that amount of ketchup you can make "Hobo's Tomato Soup". It's an old trick they'd pull at diners. For the proper recipe you want to grab all the free stuff you can. Ketchup packets, crackers, coffee creamer (if you like it creamy) and salt and pepper for taste. Some would even ask for a hot cup of water, which the waitress might assume was for tea.

    The first time I watched this it inspired me, and I came up with a sketch where it's someone trying to make cooking videos but they're squatting in someone else's house so they're trying to make the videos AND meals using as little as possible to not be found out by the homeowner, but they're also trying to hide the fact they don't live there from the audience

    Because it was salsa and he thought it was soup, so within the context of the situation it should be “salsa looks like soup”
