Not feeling well this week, and I got tired of tea and mineral water, so
I bought some bullion cubes at the store. A hot cup of beef bullion is a
nice change of pace.

Anyway, when I opened the jar, I was struck by the "Best used by" date
on the top of the jar. (And the date was only a little over a year in
the future...) It's not like a cube of mostly salt can really "go bad",
right?

I assume it's some stupid FDA food freshness requirement. But it still
struck me as ironic.
