Today, my step-brother went grocery shopping alone for the first time. He came home with Ramen and 14 bottles of chocolate milk, which will expire by the 20th. My step-dad is insisting we eat it so it doesn't go to waste. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, my husband offered to do the weekly grocery shopping. Because he has never done the shopping before, I made him a list of what we needed and other optional foods to give him an idea of what to get. He came back with a week's worth of ramen noodles and 2 litres of soda. FML
Today, I found a small bottle of chocolate milk in the fridge from McDonald's. I've been living with my grandparents while going to college and figuring they'd never drink it themselves, I took a sip. It had expired two years ago. FML
Today, the only food in the house is canned beans and vegetables that I can’t stand. My dad refuses to go to the store because, "we can't afford it." Meanwhile, my stepmom just came home with a brand new Gucci purse. FML
Today, I saw my little brother drink from the milk carton, gag, and spit the milk back in. FML
Today, while my mom was out, my family agreed upon the assumption that she has a "shopping problem." I argued against it for quite a while, until she pulled up minutes later with a what seemed like a life-time supply of canned condensed milk. FML
Today, I went into my fridge and someone had drank all the beer. Only my 8-year-old son lives with me. FML
Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML
Today, my 6-year-old cousin came to my door, demanding canned food. I asked him what for, and he said, "Dad said I needed them for a school project." I said all right, and he started raiding my pantry. I was left with only green beans. He stole all my Spaghetti O's. FML
Today, my dad opened my fridge, let rip a horrible fart into it, then closed it and said "There ya go, a little somethin' for supper." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You don't have to drink up that milk. You can freeze milk and drink it later. I hope you have a deep freezer.

Freeze it.

you can make tons of things with ramen. there's a recipe book with 150 recipes, including dessert, for ramen. try mixing cream of mushroom soup with 2 packs of ramen. if they're just cup noodles then you're screwed.

Why can't you just return it.

I'd do the same, honestly.

Most food and drink actually stays good for at least 2 weeks past the sell-by date. The "expiration" date is actually just when the stores can't sell it anymore. They wouldn't ever sell a product that was going to go bad the next day. It just doesn't happen. So you don't have to each drink 4-5 bottles a day. If you collectively drink 1-2 a day, you'll finish it all before it even comes close to going bad. Also, dry pasta doesn't really expire. The ramen will last pretty much until you decide to cook it.

Milk doesn't go bad on the sell by date

This is less of an FML and more of a win. I would take any excuse to eat ramen and drink chocolate milk!

Food shopping is a skill that needs to be taught. It isn't something innate.
