I know you said you thought it was funny - I will admit that
the design and concept is clever - but is this supposed to
actually be a serious document?

I've noticed several glaring errors. For example, it lists
a shelf life for honey of only eight months and for fish
sauce of only five months. I know for sure that honey
never goes bad; since fish sauce is already rotten when
you open the bottle, I can't imagine that it could get
much worse on storage.

On the other hand, it says pepper is good for 4 years. If
that means pre-ground pepper, that's almost stale before you
open the jar. I'm not sure it would have any potency left at
all after four years.

I'm don't think anyone who laughed took it seriously.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments
