I had something left over from my Y2K preps, a 1-liter(33.8 fl oz for you other folks) soya bean drink made by Yeo's. It was a cholesterol and lactose free milk substitute. It was a good product and I plan on getting more of them if I can find them again and I will tell you why. The product was sterilized for freshness and sealed. The stamp said -best before 05 nov 2002. I cracked it open, broke the seal and took a sip of it yesterday. I had no ill effects that I can tell from that sip and the drink still tasted sweet. I could see that some solids had settled to the bottom when I took another sip today. I decided to pour it down the drain rather than take a chance on it being bad. Aside from the settling, I think it would have continued to be viable as long as the seal was intact and I kept it stored in the fridge. If I was in a survival situation and found this intact and in a cool place for years, I would have drank the whole thing I am sure.
Just one more small service to my loyal readers. I test things out now while we still can.
Any thoughts or comments, or perhaps suggestions of items to test, I would be happy to try to test them. I have tried 5 year old MREs that where donated to me for a taste test for the same meal only a year old. There was no practical difference between the two. I will take all donations of equipment for testing on the condition that I get to keep them. That is a small price to pay for a researcher and writer to review your product. The things I suggest in my books like " What Money Can't Buy" I have tried myself or have done a massive amount of research. Doing gives you a much better perspective. All donations would also be appreciated. All donated money will go to getting more prep items. You can give to my paypal account through my other email address b4kaerbear@hotmail.com. Good luck and tell my what you are doing to insurec your survival. Till next time- good luck and good night.
Michael.
