Going for only $6.99 for a 12 pack? Be happy I don't live in Alabama cause I'ma hoard that. Fill my house with thermal detonators.

 

[WDW Pro]

Gotta keep the company afloat somehow!

I wonder if it's to empty out the items in storage or if it's an attempt to keep the assembly for the specialty beverage containers in operation.

On the site that shall not be named it is stated that they have April 20th expiration dates on them.

I'd imagine they were manufactured based on expected demand that didn't materialize, so they shipped them to retail stores.

Pop doesn’t expire that quickly...when did every food manufacturer decide to scam the American population with close in expiration dates?

I imagine it's more to do with quality control than food safety. That and an effort to turn over inventory faster.

I don't think you can legally alter an expiration date on a food or beverage item in the United States. I'd need a photo before I'd believe they're selling expired sodas.

I thought sodas were a 'Best By' date and not an expiration date.

I saw past dated yogurt for sale at the grocery store last week. I could see it happening with soda.

Some times people just don't check this stuff often enough.

Unless it is infant formula the Best By dates are largely made up and are not part of any sort of standardized or regulated food safety program.

Learn something new every day... I thought sodas had expiration dates. Here's an informative article on the matter:

It does. I used to work at a tourist attraction and we sold specialty aluminum bottles of coke. When you get large deliveries every month, you’d be surprised how often you get super close to the expiration date.

Diet Coke goes bad the quickest (as in people will taste it) - Dr. Pepper is the best at being able to be used long after it’s shelf life. (Syrups too.)

Wonder what city? I’m only 30 minutes from Birmingham.

I’ve had Diet Coke in my pantry two years and it’s fine. Root beer 4 years...

I have never liked the taste of Diet Coke even when it’s in date. I just know when we let the product expire customers would complain about the taste of Diet Coke first.

After further reading, it was in a little town in south Alabama not terribly far from the Florida state line. 4 hours away in the middle of a pandemic. Hard pass.

Diet soda does have a short shelf life, full sugar lasts longer as the sugar acts as a natural preservative. For me, diet cola tastes "off" only a few months past the best before.

I would also assume that this isn't just Covid related and they weren't selling well anyway, likely due to the high prices. Disney should be selling enough that they don't get left with stock that only has weeks on the shelf life and the parks only closed just over a month ago.
