Today, a colleague gave me an expensive box of chocolates for my birthday. I was surprised she spent so much on me, but didn't think much of it. Only when I got back home and excitedly opened the box did I realise the chocolates had expired months ago. FML
I agree, your life sucks 30 345
You deserved it 2 532

Migole tells us more.

Those were still fine luckily but in general it can expire, yes. It becomes all grey and greasy and tastes like soap. Not nice :/

Reminds me of the episode of Icarly. She must be jealous of you over something.

OR...This is real life, not a pre-teen tv show

My family owns a lot of candy stores and I know for a fact that chocolate doesn't expire. Sometimes they discolor a little and turn white maybe, and if you're picky about that than you can just melt it. They're still perfectly fine

Um, if it's just plain chocolate this may be true. But especially filled chocolates become very horrible, when they are older. They may have not an expiration like milk or something like that, but they dry out, become greasy, slimy or something worse, not one week after their expiration date, but we talk abour months. So either your candy shops sell enough to barely have expired chocolate or you get rid of the expired stuff very fast (eat it yourself or throw it out), so you never saw inedible chocolate.

wow so thoughtful! maybe you should give your colleague rotten eggs for her birthday, throw it!

This person gave you expensive chocolates.. Who cares where she got them? Is the merit of a gift truly judged by whether or not you spent money on it and how much? Personally I had no idea that chocolates could expire so I wouldn't expect most others to either.

Re-gift them to her! But first, lick each and every one....She'll love 'em!

Now it's time to plot your sweet, sweet revenge. Make sure it will be choc-full of nasty surprises. Maybe you could even mess with her alarms so she is always late?

Put the chocolate in a different box and "gift" then back.

Just save the chocolates, wrap them and gift them back to her at some apropriate moment. (Like her birthday)
