“World War I Soup”: 87 Old Products People Found At Home That Prove Some People Never Throw Anything Away
There are two types of people in this world. Those who throw stuff out the exact moment it expires, down to the second, as if one minute past the date turns it into radioactive material. And those who hold onto things for years, convinced that a bottle of salad dressing from 2011 still has plenty of life left in it.
The latter crowd has found their spiritual home on r/GrandmasPantry. It’s a subreddit where folks post ancient relics they’ve unearthed around their homes, from mystery cans buried in the back of a cupboard to cleaning supplies that haven’t seen the light of day in decades. Scroll down for the best finds.

Rotate your stock doesn’t mean do the Hokey Pokey before you put it on the shelf

38 Year Old Brownies
There’s a sad story to these nearly 4 decade old brownies. My great aunt, who lives with dementia, had a son who tragically passed away at 12 in 1986. Not long before, he baked these brownies for her, and ever since then they have sat in the back of her refrigerator. We found it while going through her fridge. I won’t take off the lid until we decide to throw it out (which surely will be soon) but it seems like they’ve aged without growing mold, which is mildly concerning, but pretty cool.

I Was Given 6 Bags Of Food, And Nearly All Of It Expired More Than A Decade Ago
A family friend made a big deal all weekend about bringing me six bags of food for me and my wife to go through and dump the rest off at the "blessings pantry".... This is some of it!
The best part: The Ghirardellis mint chips and dumpling mix are so antique they don't even have an expiry date. Exciting, we love old food youtubes!
The sun-dried tomatoes (2009) are congealed into a whole new product, may patent it...
Thought about eating that 2008 dark chocolate because damn! The caviar has no date, not sure if it's even that old, but... no.
The rancid smell coming off that Crisco (2007) was intense. The cheese fantastico bottle was creating a vacuum, may implode one day, may keep for science. And wtf is Molly McButter!!
She even suggested I give all the pouch tunas (2011-2014) to my elderly dog, so basically I'm thinkin she's trying to end us all.

This drives me insane! DO NOT clear out your cupboards and “donate” all the expired food to a food bank. The food bank then has to dispose of it and it’s so disrespectful to people who are already struggling

Thank him politely and throw it out when he leaves. Talc is no longer considered safe for anyone, let alone newborns

Living In My Freezer Since Late 1999
Millennipede! The blue things used to be stuck on its back but it molted.
My mom gave it to me late 1999. It sat on the counter for a while and I didn’t have the heart to throw it away before New Year (you can tell it would taste terrible so eating it never crossed my mind) so I stuck it in the freezer.
On my 3rd freezer, but original Millennipede.

World War I Soup On My Great Aunt’s Fridge
This soup was made for the German Army in World War I. It went unused and sat in the back of a store owned by my great aunt.
When she retired, she put it on her fridge, where it stayed for decades. This is a picture of it in 2017.
In 2022 she passed away at 96 and the house was sold.
Found out today the soup was trashed.

By this time I think the soup should be classed as biological warfare
