I work for a greeting cards company (not mentioning names but not that one, the other one!). At the end of the holiday most cards are "destroyed" (i.e. thrown away). It's a waste, I hate it. If we are lucky, the store recycles and the leftovers go with the recyclable trash. If not, they get pitched. This person didn't completely destroy, we are supposed to add dye or soap or something to the bag so no one wants what's inside. I'm actually glad someone found these. I get angry at the end of every season that the leftovers can't be donated to hospitals, hospices, churches, anywhere. Glad these are getting a 2nd life. (This also applies to any stuffed animals or plush toys. Don't let them get wasted!) *Edited for spelling

I would date this to the 1920s - 1930s, maybe way early 1940s at a stretch, but solidly 1930s at least. It should come up really nice with some T!C—-just please please please don’t paint it, OK?

I get it, but also if these needed to be refrigerated and the power went out or the fridges broke, the store can't sell them because it could make people sick. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing.

For years I was on the board of a local food charity. Various grocery stores gave us our cast away stuff. We saved tons and tons of food from dumpsters. Much of what gets discarded is due to food safety laws in the US, not because "company is evil". Cooling unit malfunctions or loses power? It has to go, even though it is still frozen. Close to date? dented can? Fruit or veggie not perfect? Getting involved in a food charity is a two edged sword / makes you feel conflicted. On the one hand you are doing good / saving stuff from landfills / helping people in need. On the other hand it makes it more "in your face" as to just how much food gets thrown out in America. It is really sad. I could bang on about it but yeah, lots of food wasted due to super strict food safety laws and overly picky US customers. PS - Everything they gave us / we gave away was officially "animal food". The worst of it did go to pigs but most of it went to human beings, just with a legal disclaimer they wouldn't sue us.

Looks like outside of a Target store or something which leads me to believe they aren't real safe to eat. Possible freezer failure or they could all be expired.

This totally sucks but unfortunately these products are most likely damaged or out of date so they have to throw it out. I do resets inside of grocery stores and one time we threw out three buggies worth of out of date so sad.

If there is a hurricane and the power goes out for more than a few hours (yes they have generators but they eventually run out of gas), the rules are that everything in the refrigerated area and freezer areas are tossed. So you will see this in Florida. Most of the time, the items are still at least partially frozen, but the health department doesnt trust it. I can see their point but its so much food.

In Norway the food stores puts food that's about to expire in shopping carts (dry food) and in cooling boxes (fresh food) and sells it at a lower percentage, usually between 30 and 50%. That way they don't have to throw away the food and at the same time not lose money but actually earn more. And people can get stuff at a lower rate. Win - win situation👍

If that is food that needs refrigerated or frozen I'd be very careful. Especially if the store lost power for a significant amount of time. About 8 years ago the grocery store I worked at had a 3 day outage and lost every perishable item in the store.
