Dirty Thursday with Jeff Lewis will be daring.  The question is will Jeff become sick from ingesting old liquid.  From what I have been reading drinking old beer might make you vomit, but it won’t make you ill. It tastes stale.  Soft drinks on the other hand could make you sick. Old soft drinks taste like old rusty water.  Unless, a can has been damaged or altered- only the taste would be affected, the contents will not make you sick.

However, be weary of old soft drinks and energy drinks. Benzene has been link cancer and leukemia.  Many drinks today have that in it.   Old soft drinks can be dangerous.  It has a metallic taste to it. The dangerous part about drinking an older diet drink are the ingredients. Aspartame, which is in artificial sweeteners, breaks down into formaldehyde into a liquid solution.

In conclusion, it is not a great idea to drink anything past the born on date.  If it doesn’t smell good or look good, don’t ingest it.     Jeff is a brave man!
