I don't buy the Coca Cola statement. I bought a bunch of carton of Coke after they announced that Classic Coke would be replaced with New Coke. Within a month, the (non-diet) Coke had started to ferment. Within two months, it was undrinkable.

I don’t buy all of the stuff here, either. In fact, I think they may have underestimated the shelf life of some of these goods. For one thing, I believe that honey can be quite edible and tasty for a lot longer than one year.

Storage temperature is everything.

Thousands of years from now, when aliens land on Earth and see the ancient ruins of human civilization, they will find a case of Diet Coke. They will drink it and understand why human civilization fell.

A chemist working for a large multinational food company once told me diet drinks go bad - but not the others... For reasons to ‘make it simple’ they tag all of them with expiration dates...
