I am puzzled by inorganic stuff that has an expiration date.
Jugs of water. Box of salt.
Most recent example is a jug of toilet cleaner. I bought one almost a year ago. It had an expiration date of November 7, 2024.
Its main ingredient is hydrochloric acid, and a tiny amount of some stuff that I'd guess is a pH buffer. Nothing that degrades. It's inorganic.
A year later, I buy another jug. Oddly, it has the same expiration date! Mighty slow turnover, I guess.
Does no one clean toilets?
