Expiration Memes

The ultimate geological irony! This salt container proudly declares its contents were "formed by the primal sea more than 250 million years ago" - surviving mass extinctions, continental drift, and the entire rise of mammals - only to be deemed unusable because of a tiny expiration date stamp from 2019. Talk about putting geological timescales into perspective! That salt witnessed the dinosaurs come and go, but heaven forbid you use it two years after some arbitrary food regulation date. The universe's oldest seasoning just got canceled by bureaucracy.

Behold the geological paradox in your kitchen! Himalayan salt marketing claims it's "the purest salt formed 100 million years ago," yet somehow has an expiration date in 2025? That's like dinosaurs carrying around "best before" tags! Fun fact: These pink crystals actually formed ~250 million years ago when ancient seas evaporated, and the color comes from trace iron oxide. The expiration date? Pure marketing nonsense since NaCl is literally one of the most stable compounds on Earth. Salt was used to PRESERVE other foods for millennia! Next they'll be selling us expiring rocks. "Premium granite: Best if used by Tuesday."
