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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I really wanted something to drink. I looked in the fridge, and found some of my grandma's soy milk. I took a swig, and instead of tasting soy, I tasted something rotten. Turns out my grandma knows I drink her soy milk, so she swapped it with expired chicken broth. FML
Today, the host family that I'm staying with in China gave me a small milk box to drink. It tasted a bit tangy and sour, but I thought that was probably just the taste of milk in China. Trying to be polite, I practically chugged the whole box. Later, I found out that it had expired 20 days ago. FML
Today, I was pouring milk into my coffee and, as it plooped into my mug, I noticed the expiration date on the jug passed two weeks ago. Nobody here drinks milk very often and I ran out of creamer, so I've been unknowingly drinking my coffee with curdled milk for the past three days. FML
Today, I discovered why the milk in my house has a funny, sweet taste. My family has been pouring the leftover milk from their cereal back into the carton. FML
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 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
Today, while tidying up my grandmother's fridge, I got to play expiration-date-bingo. The winner was some type of concentrated apple sauce supposed to be used for salad dressings. It expired in 1986. FML
Today, I opened up a can of tomato soup I'd taken from my parents' house recently. After eating the whole can, I started feeling a little off, so I checked the expiration date. It expired 12 years ago. FML
Today, I saw my mom changing the expiry date on milk. She genuinely thought this would make the milk sour later. FML
Today, I was celebrating my birthday when my friend gave me chocolate as a gift. I wasn't suspecting anything and ate about half of it before I noticed something strange. It turned out there were some kind of worms living in it and the chocolate was about a year after the expiration date. I got sick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How could you not notice that? Milk, even chocolate milk, that's gone bad has a horrid smell. And after two years, shouldn't the milk have been solidified?

bullshit, it would have exploded. The bacteria that grows in milk lets off gases and if it hadn't exploded it would not be in a liquid form after two years. FAAAAAAAAKE

Yeah, man. For ****'s sake, it's not like they worked hard all their lives to get to a stage where they could rest in their old age.

I fail to see how they deserved it maybe it was at the bottom shelf at the back and the op never said they were retired. You know some people don't retire as soon as they can some Would rather work.

I think the point is that the OP deserved it. Even the small bottled from McDonalds have an expiration date. You drink without checking and it is your bad.

the real question is: if it was from McDonalds was it even milk?

If you figured your grandparents wouldn't drink it, why would you assume it's recent? Milk doesn't have a long shelf life.

You should have slugged the whole thing. It would have put hair on your chest. That could work for you in Ohio. ;)

Wouldn't you have smelled that from the kitchen? BEFORE you opened the fridge? A year ago?
