“World War I Soup”: 87 Old Products People Found At Home That Prove Some People Never Throw Anything Away

#1

38 Year Old Brownies

Old products: A white, perhaps plaster, molding in a clear bag inside a metal pan with a handwritten note from 1986.

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.
