The above demo ended up creating a totally accidental “experiment”, one that I had no idea I was doing!
When I was doing the picture of the different odd-shaped bottles, I went through the refrigerator grabbing bottles, and also looked for stuff in the pantry. I found the Starbuck’s frappuccino in the back of the pantry and thought that would be a good one to add.
After taking the pictures and writing the post, I put everything back in the refrigerator, including the Starbuck’s.
Sometime later I had low BG and went in the refrigerator and took the Starbuck’s and noticed the bottle contained 32 grams of sugar. I thought, “hey, 16 sounds about right”. So I did the thumb and inversion trick, and drank exactly half. It was delicious! Put the rest of the bottle back in the refrigerator without a thought.
Later when I was looking for something in the refrigerator, I saw the rest of the Starbuck’s and noticed something on the bottle…
Expiration date - June 6, 2016
I must just gravitate to expired things. I had no idea it was that old!
So this was a totally accidental “experiment”. But I guess we can add this to the list of expired things - expired-dexcom-sensors, expired-insulin, expired-glucagon…
For the record, Starbuck’s frappuccino that is 14 months past the date is still good!
