What do the following household items have in common: A jar of aspirin; a tube of toothpaste; a clear plastic bottle; a package of KN-95 masks? Answer: they all expire on a certain date. Indeed, our homes are full of stuff we’re supposed to throw away long before we’re done with it. But do these products truly go bad, or are their producers planning their obsolescence so you’ll buy them again and again? Don’t mind Mark and Joe as they forage through your medicine cabinet, pantry, and hall closet to demystify expiration dates once and for all. (Recorded July 3, 2025.)
