Скачать или смотреть Episode 9- The Expiry Date Scam: Why You Are Throwing Away Good Food

Are you terrified of eating yogurt one day past the date? Do you throw away eggs just because the carton says so? 🥚🥛

You are falling for one of the biggest marketing tricks in history.

In this episode of Psycholab, Josh and Chelsea expose The Expiry Date Lie. We reveal the shocking truth that "Best By," "Sell By," and "Use By" dates have almost nothing to do with food safety—and everything to do with making you buy more groceries.

Josh risks his life (according to Chelsea) by eating "expired" products to prove a point, and we teach you the ancient survival hack that is more accurate than any label: The Sniff Test.

🥦 IN THIS EPISODE:

The Label Confusion: The difference between "Sell By" (for the store clerk) and "Use By" (for you).

The "Peak Quality" Myth: Why the date only refers to taste, not safety.

The Grocery Conspiracy: How planned obsolescence in your pantry creates billions in food waste.

The "Lightning Round": Is it safe to eat slimy spinach? Moldy cheese? Old chocolate?

The Milk Challenge: Josh drinks 2-day expired milk while Chelsea panics.

👃 THE SCIENCE: THE SNIFF TEST We explain why your nose is a high-tech evolutionary tool designed to detect bacterial rot, and why we have un-learned how to trust our own senses in favor of a printed number.
