US Woman Reacts After Finding "24-Year-Old" Expired Spices In Mothers Kitchen

The moment Ms McGonagall's eyes landed on the label, her jaw dropped. "Mom...this expired 24 years ago," she told her.

Imagine rummaging through your mom's pantry and stumbling upon spices older than you are! That's exactly what happened to Sarah McGonagall, who shared her experience on X, formerly Twitter.  I told my mom that her apple pie tasted a little weird this year, and she goes “Really? I always use the same recipe. The nutmeg was a bit clumpy, maybe it didn't blend well…”She takes out the jar to show me, and after a very long pause, I say “Mom…this expired 24 years ago.” pic.twitter.com/mhFutRzinM

It all started with a seemingly innocuous apple pie. Ms McGonagall, noticing a distinct "off" flavour, jokingly questioned her mother's tried-and-true recipe. Her mother, unfazed, blamed a potentially clumpy nutmeg. Curious, Ms McGonagall reached for the jar, expecting a mere inspection.
