Spicy
Today, I bought body chocolate to use in bed with my boyfriend in the hopes of spicing things up. Everything was going great, until I tasted it. It was disgusting and actually made me gag a little. Later, my boyfriend checked the label and started laughing. It had expired 3 years ago. FML

1. Complain to the store. 2. That ice cream thing works as well.

#2 - crappy store stocking. Shelf stockers are supposed to rotate items, putting the oldest in front but constantly checking for expiration dates. If a stocker puts the newest in front and not all items are bought, it's really easy for an item to sit indefinitely. And, if the stocker is lazy and doesn't make sure the things he's rotating (or leaving in the back) haven't expired - well, things get pretty nasty. - - - I'm a former grocery store worker. I've seen expiration dates that are ... surprising....

For a moment, I thought she was going to say she mistakenly ate some poop instead of chocolate. Now that would've really been FML.

was it from temptations chocolate factory in riverside? haha

Didn't know they had body chocolate...I just use regular chocolate. >.

the exact thing happened to me. I was wondering why this chocolate body paint was on sale... until I taste it and find out it's disgusting. I still licked all of it off anyway, and surprisingly didn't feel too horrible later. but I feel your pain.

First off, YDI for not checking the expiration date before you bought it. I'd take it back to the store though. That's gross. I work at a store that sells those sorts of things and I've come across some stuff before that had been expired for over a year or two.

As someone who works for a store that sells those sorts of things, it is surprisingly easy to overlook expiration dates. Also, the stores sometimes don't discard items (even the perishables) until management or corporate tells them to or unless they're damaged, because if they do they could get into trouble. Sometimes corporate will completely overlook such items when they instruct stores the discard certain items, or items will be misplaced and not destroyed with the rest of the bunch. It's not really the store's fault, and it's why you really should check expiration dates before you buy something. I'd still take it back though. I hope you still have the receipt.

hahah wow that sucks. =/ ew.

thank's OP! After reading your story I immediately went and checked a package of body chocolates that a co-worker bought me for Xmas. Mine's still good for another 2 years... too bad my GF hates chocolate more than I do. Oh well, guess I'll have to find someone else to snack with.
