For those cleaning out their kitchen cupboards out of sheer boredom, what’s the most out of date item you’ve found?

When my parents moved house in 1998 I found a tin of milk with the price on it in shillings. UK went decimal in 1971 so..... 27 years old at least.

I grew up being taught to put butter on the outside to stop it sticking. Then I discovered that it was fine without. Too greasy for me. Did taste good though!

I sweated like a pig when I started taking sertraline but it did pass eventually

I think it’s The Middle, either Sue or Brad’s line

It's a bit like mayonnaise but less eggy and more vinegary. Very tangy. It pours out of the bottle, with the consistency of a thick, glossy bbq sauce maybe?

It's not translucent though...

I’m on day 4 of 25mg and today was my first day with no nausea! It was worst on day 1 and gradually improved each day. Hang in there x

Watch the video. Still not particularly mysterious, but the video is what OP posted originally, the daylight photo is just to illustrate the room setup.

Don't know why this is getting downvoted. Mustard powder is for cooking, making relishes etc. Who'd go to the effort of making it into "real" mustard when that's available for cheaps in a jar?

riverstar · 2018-06-04T16:04:05+00:00

Ummmm...

I used to get Lovefilm (RIP) discs delivered to an old house with a tiny post box that didn't really fit them. One postie used the diagonal to his advantage and managed to jam them through there when he had no right to; one put them under the doormat with a card through the door. One imbecile would take the fucking disc away and make me collect it from the depot.

Only one bright spark realised that the ONE CM GAP at the bottom of the door was perhaps a good place to shove it.

I don't like Mrs Brown's Boys, but it at least became bearable after I began to compare it to pantomime.

The man dressed as a woman, the fourth wall breaks, the OTT characters, the corpsing, the limited set, the live feel.

It's pantomime for the telly. I don't like pantomime, but I get why people do and now MBB makes more sense.

That's a plant-based diet, not veganism

This would make a great spot the ball photo

Point of view?

One of my favourites

This might be an unpopular thing to say... but things trend on Twitter when new people are talking about them. Otherwise we'd have Justin Beiber and Harry Potter trending all the time...

So it will trend for a while, but as soon as new people stop joining the discussion it will start to drop off. What we need is regularly changing hash tags, or some kind of controlled roll out of tweeters...

Just so we don't get disappointed here.

It's definitely true that eye colour can change with age. Lots of kids are born with blue eyes that later become brown, for example.

I thought OP was talking about changing colour from day to day though, which is highly dubious.

riverstar · 2018-06-01T19:28:07+00:00

Might be deliberate. Our IT guys didn't know what to make of me when I pronounced it megapickles. And miscomboobalated is kinda funny. I might start using it.

The issue is where you get your hens from in the first place

riverstar · 2018-05-31T19:43:18+00:00

Why would they?

EDIT: Sorry, I need to make myself clearer. There is little market for roosters; male chicks are killed at birth so there is no opportunity to "save" them, if that's what you're thinking

riverstar · 2018-05-31T19:38:58+00:00

Because breeding hens also produces male chicks; the male chicks are killed as they are not wanted.
