Just came back to the thread now. Thanks for all these replies. I laughed at all the funny stuff (having a will, that cartoon, etc.).

I read the article links. They made me feel a lot better mentally. And so far, no bad reaction, which I am very happy about. As someone mentioned -- Neesy, I think? -- food poisoning is terrible. I got that once, from peanuts, I believe I determined the culprit to be. Will never forget it. I remember thinking it could easily be considered a form of torture.

I actually was thinking about that Walking Dead scene with Carl after I ate the product. I at first thought it was raviolis, but I think it indeed was the desert, as others mentioned. (Not the closest watcher of that show, but I assume Twinkies must have been mentioned on it once or twice.)

I appreciate all this help. I do tend to worry a lot about germs and contamination.

I'm fairly well convinced that in the case of virtually everything requiring an expiration date that those dates are given a considerable grace period.

I am an absolute freakazoid about expiration dates, best-by-dates, etc. Am constantly worried about food/product tampering as well. Won't use an "expired" product, even though I know that realistically it is probably still good - I've wasted a lot of money, I know. My mom will literally scrape the mold off something and still eat it ( :barf: ) and can't figure out how I got so weird. It's probably just another example of anxiety/fear rearing its ugly head (in my case anyway).

If that's weird then we're soulmates, LOL. I'm the same way.
