I gave myself a little cut today on the garden fence- nothing serious at all. I was putting some antibiotic ointment on the scratch after I washed it off and randomly I thought... I wonder if this stuff expires?
Yes, it did. The tube crimp says: "Expires 1/2001." Perhaps I ought to have thought to look at it... hmmm... SIX years ago.
Do you think it actually doesn't work anymore? Am I smearing myself with useless goo?
Either way, it made me laugh. Given that expiration date, I think that ointment has lived in a medicine cabinet in a minimum of 7 states as well as 3 separate countries. I think I'll buy a new tube this weekend, just in case.
