EXPIRATION DAY IS HERE!!!

AUGUST 30, 2007

THE END IS NEAR FOLKS!

OH, THE HORROR!


This is the final installment on my discovery of "fresh" whole-wheat wraps with a shelf life of 90 days (I'm still nauseated by that). It began with my initial posting and my letter to the La Tortilla Factory on June 12. I felt compelled to write to them regarding my shock when I first realized that the package of tortillas that I purchased on June 11 was given a "sell-by" date of August 30. Their response was appreciated and professional, yet left me feeling uneasy about how a baked product with sunflower seeds, olive oils and whole grains could be made to last such an unnaturally long life.

I posted a follow-up and taste test on July 25. There was no visible mold. And, they were not drying out like I would expect tortillas to do after one month. Creepy!


The sell-by date is now upon us!


Are they cursed with eternal life?


Will the Frankentortillas survive?


Will I be getting a phone call from Universal's lawyers?

There are no words for this. I am bowing down to your genius.


I'm speechless.

Well, I'm not sure we have to worry about Matt having a 'first born'...at least until science thinks of something, but we do need to worry about those poor ww tortillas.

I think someone's due for a stint in masa rehab...before he strikes again!

I'm still trying to figure out how milk suddenly got a longer shelf life. The last bottle I bought on Saturday August 25, had an expiration date of Sept 7.

Kenyo says:

Somebody has a lot of time, not to mention tortilla blood, on his hands.

...ahh...ahhhh.. ahhh-

--hahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!11!!

I mostly check internet type stuff from work, but I can't watch video from there.

So, I've known of your Tortilla Co. quest, but haven 't really been able to see it-until now!

Best. Vlog. Evuh. dude.

I ain't gonna have no first born, and I'm pretty sure I ain't gettin' no tattoo soon, but my new idol... yeah, his name is Kevin. All hail Shai Hulud.

*breaks up in hysterical laughter*

Loves it!!!
