Why is eggnog in the store in August?

Because all these stores "try to get ahead of each other".

It's the supermarket version of climate change. As seasons the passage of seasons becomes more ambiguous, so does the availability of seasonal products... I swear some stores stock fall products right next to summer ones. Maybe one day they'll eventually merge, and we'll finally get pumpkin spice flavoured sunscreen.
 
It begs the question. When the supermarket spoils out solid foods, they just bag 'em and chuck it in the dumpster. But is this also done with the milk? Or does some poor sap have to sit there and empty each bottle into a drain?
Imagine being the guy who has to empty the cases of "expired" water.

I'm still drinking my way through my dad's prepper stash of water. Some of it 'expired' in 2014 but it's fine, it's fucking water. One kind of amusing thing that people might not be aware of is if you let bottled water sit that long, it evaporates through the bottle, but because H20 molecules are tiny compared to O2 and N2 they infiltrate at a much slower rate, causing the bottles to shrivel up until you open them. The 16.9oz bottles probably have about 12-13oz left after a decade or so of sitting

So that's why that happens, I always wondered about that.

Yeah it's super interesting. Cody of Cody'sLab has a video where he makes a self-inflating balloon by using a gas that can't escape the balloon, or if it does it's extremely slow relative to the rate at which helium/oxygen/nitrogen pass through, so when the atmospheric gases infiltrate via osmosis it just gets bigger

I love CodysLab, thank you!

Homer: 'Tis the season, Marge! We only get thirty sweet noggy days.

I've noticed the last few years halloween stuff starts showing up in july f it ever even does and is already being clearanced for christmas shit once mid august hits. Shit pisses me off and the eggnog shit is literally jsut another factor. Doesn't help the halloween stuff is now all cartoonishly upmarked too so the clearance prices reflect the actual price. Yeah the cheap ass plastic skeletons you've been selling for years now at every place went from 40 to 80-100 and got a 50% markdown back down to normal price! WOAH WHAT A DEAL I'LL NEVER SEE THESE AGAIN TILL NEXT YEAR NOW AND IT'SNOT EVEN FUCKING OCTOBER YET! CHRISTMAS FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR WOAH!


Not just limited to this either, they've been putting pride month shit out as early as february the last few years too. Nobody buys it, the stuff from the last few years is still rottng on shelves. all the gay ass shitty rainbow poop flag merch literally nobody wants.

There's that one guy who had to sue a milk factory because they kept dumping their expired milk behind his house and it smelled like death
