Why is eggnog in the store in August?

It doesn't even make sense, as a dairy product, it expires fast and selling it during a time of low demand means more of the product is going to make absolutely no money.

You're assuming it was actually legit eggnog and not some clever marketing on the part of store management involving taking old, expired, chunky milk, dumping some sugar into it and slapping a new label on the carton claiming its eggnog

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

Uh I wouldn't be so sure its fine. Generally when it comes to bottled water those expiration dates refer to the amount of time they guarantee that the chemicals from the cheap plastic bottles haven't seeped into the water yet

If grocery stores are anything like I remember, a lot of seasonal things are ordered early for some reason. I just went to the store yesterday and they had a whole container of carving pumpkins out already. Not a September thing imo. It's also why seasonal candy is out early as shit all the time

Eggnog is delicious and I don't know how other countries go without it. I'm going to buy some today, thanks for reminding me!
 
American culture is centered around noggers. They have holidays for noggers. They listen to nogger music. They elect a nogger as their president. They dress and act like noggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from noggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of noggers. They use nogger slang like "XMas" and "eggo." Their cities are completely overrun with noggers. They worship noggers while attacking the milk-drinkers who actually built their country before noggers took over. They will tell you how much they hate noggers and how the Christmas in July meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love noggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nog-loving noggers.

In the recent past, a local grocery chain did a whole Christmas in July promotion, with lots of eggnog. Yes, in July. It makes me think of, "It's so damn hot. Milk was a bad choice," but ×10. They haven't done it in a couple years, so it must not have been popular.
