Life is like a box of chocolates..

.. you never know what you're gonna get. Forrest Gump - one of the greatest movies ever.

It was the Jimmy Kimmel thing, don't worry about it.

#21- it IS the best movie ever.

No shit

what kind of idiot re gifts edible items?

37- someone who doesn't want to get fat.

how do you know the colleague is a girl

Probably by the word "she" used to refer to the colleague in the fml

Assuming that she hadn't noticed, the place where she would have bought them would resposible for it and should be approached. But I highly think that's what happened. OP, you should tell her about it and see her reaction.

Unless the colleague bought the chocolates out of a clearance bin in an attempt to get something nice without spending a ton of money. There is a store where I live that has about 8 clearance carts whenever I go there that just full of stuff that is past technical expiration but still fine to eat.

Am I the only one who's reminded of icarly?

I was thinking about that too.

Have you ever eaten old chocolate? It turns whitish and crumbly and tastes like chalk. Ugh. Something I'd never want to experience again.

You do know that expiration dates aren't regulated right? That means they can throw whatever date they want on there. Yeah after a super long time (I doubt a few months is enough) its bad, but you have to use a little of your own discretion.
