The last hope

There is still hope, it's Best by, not Use by
- So many people interpret "best before" as "poisonous as hell after". Look at it, smell it, taste (a little bit of) it. If it passes all three, still perfect to eat.
  
  Until its not
  Be mindful of perishables left out of the fridge for a long time. Most of the time it is fine but in some cases it can cause illness.

That is only what the Canadians release to the outside world. They have a strategic maple syrup reserve.
- strategic maple syrup reserve
  I love that this is a real thing 😄
  
  Goddamned Canadian maple syrup cartel.

But is it October 2, or February 10?!?
- Both
  
  All is possible with the power of maple
  
  TBF tho it doesn’t really matter because either way it won’t go out of date in 14000 years
- It's February 15th, 2010 at 14:41.

I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).
It's a Saturday.
Real downer on the start of the weekend.
- Yep, my immediate thought was, how the hell would you know it works?

Best by ≠ Expiration date
It's the truth, and I'm tired pretending it's not.
- It's just not in its best condition.
  Another 720000 years before expiry.

Nothing left to do but play football.

- Wilddddd. That was just crazy.
  
  Glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I never expected such a thing from a sports reporting site.
- I never knew of the existence of this story. Truly astounding.

what an optimistic date for our demise.

1441 is most likely the time stamp sorry guys...
(Not sure if Canada follows US or internal date format)
- Canadian here. We're not sure either.
- Slashes mean whatever american abomination
  
  Cry
  You cut me deep, real deep.
