Elana in North Rustico, Canada spotted this tart exchange inside her friend Shannon’s fridge.
Shannon, no doubt hoping to avoid getting called out for interfering with her roommate’s yogurt supply, wrote the first note. Her roommate Michael, perhaps taking issue with the note’s mildly patronizing tone, fired back with his own written retort. And as for the yogurts? Yup, still in the fridge.

Honestly – yogurt can keep a long time past the expiration date.

I miss the good old days, when people would actually post notes that made me laugh on this site.

Wow, that made me laugh audibly. Sorry some people’s sense of humor is broken.

North Rustico (not quite Canada’s version of Acapulco) is damned near as far north as my old stomping grounds of Goose Bay, Labrador.
Back in the ’60s, Goosers would have figured if it was 12 August, well, we had about another 49 weeks before we had to worry about that pull date,
as long as we didn’t leave it outdoors and exposed to sunlight…sheesh.

Just wait for the container to grow a goodly amount of hairy-looking strands and then comply with yogurt’s prime directive: Yo, plait !

One person’s expired yogurt is another’s cottage cheese.

That looks like an extraordinarily large tub of yogurt to me. And agree with Rebecca, yogurt keeps after it’s expiration date, especially when the foil hasn’t even been removed like above.
PS: haters gonna hate, jen.

I think people are missing the most important thing here…
Just what is that on top of the eggs?

I love both note and response!
Note is not bossy, and she didn’t throw out his yogurt — as I used to just throw out roommates’ grotty old growing food.
Response lets her know by virtue of any response that he is now aware of expired yogurt, should he care, and that she is living with someone who has a sense of humour.
Yogurt is in sealed tub so I still consider it his choice to pitch or keep until eating.
Two thumbs up.

Don’t worry, Kerry, at least one person appreciated “tart exchange”.

Let us all bow our heads in a moment of silence for the expired yogurts.
We’ve lost the Maya and the Inca…now yet another rich culture shall be sorely missed.

Yogurt is Middle-Eastern(ish).
Clearly, the correct course of action when confronted with yogurt abandoned in a fridge for three weeks is to contact the Department of Homeland Security (or the nearest Mountie).
They’re getting tricky, those people!

Listen Shannon, are you a modern independent woman or not? Do you really need a MAN to hold your hand to help you solve this Yogurt Crisis? The question shouldn’t be “what should we do” but “what should *I* do”. Being a good roommate is about being a strong partner. How can he possibly respect you if you cannot draw the courage from within to deal with this difficult problem on your own?

I’d've put the expired yogurt, lid off, foil still on, in someone’s pillow. Lay down and get a head covered in expired yogurt.

Michael’s contribution to the note is funny and just a wee bit snarky. I like Michael. Michael has a sense of humor.

IF the yogurt’s not green then it’s still good.

Expiration dates are not MAGIC. Open the canister — is it growing a new lifeform? Is it starting to produce some kind of baffling pink liquid? No? Close the canister and put it back in the fridge. Money does not grow on trees, and neither does yogurt.

Bottled water has an expiration date. Yogurt is already rotten- you might have fewer live beasties but unless it’s green and fuzzy its not gotten any worse for you.
