this morning, my mom decided that she needed to clean the cabinets next to and over the fridge out. i was assigned to help her and as we were cleaning out the medicine cabinet, i started looking at expiration dates and pitching the ones that had expired in a plastic bad to pour down the toilet. turns out that 7/8 of the cabinet was expired prescription and over-the-counter drugs. the oldest one i found was from 8-1999. ten years ago! we've moved twice in those ten years and never once has my mother even thought to throw them out.i looked at her and said "mom, you realize that this expired like ten years ago, right?"
she responded with "just throw it out." and an eye roll.
i guess old habits die hard.
