Never thought about it, but I don't trust those printed expiration dates, be it eggs, drugs, or

long, and it is possible (just possible, mind you) that they dump those at the Dollar store.

Well, sure. But I think we were talking about Dollar stores vs. an outfit like Penzey's. At least
that was my take on it, I could be full of **** too... ;-)
