An Open Letter To Lucerne Foods

Dear Lucerne Foods;

I have been a loyal and satisfied customer of your products for over ten years. Over that time I have developed a particular fondness for your yogurt. When it comes to taste and consistency, your yogurt is far superior to any other brand and I consume it exclusively.

The other day I was sitting down to eat my lunch at work and glanced at the expiry date. I don't normally look at the expiry date since the yogurt in my fridge rarely lasts that long, but something disturbed me greatly. The expiry date printed on my yogurt read 'Au 21 2054'.

In my experience yogurt typically expires one month after purchase, indicating that the product is fresh and perishable. Yogurt that expires after forty five years is rather unappetizing. Furthermore, it calls into question the quality of ingredients and processes you are using. I am unsure if your product even qualifies as yogurt at this point since there is no way a milk culture could last that long.

I urge you to return to using milk instead of edible oil products in the manufacture of your yogurt or I shall be forced to begin consumption of a lesser brand of yogurt.

Sincerely;

Sean Carney

That would be quite nasty if

That would be quite nasty if in fact it does not expire for 45 years. I have been thoroughly disappointed with the way expiry dates are printed on about 80% of things I've consumed and it doesn't instill much confidence in the companies.

Hello Namesake! Great blog,

Hello Namesake! Great blog, beautiful page, I personally have had too many cigs and I am a bit tired, but maybe we could contact and talk about having such a great name! Is your old man called Chris as well? Do you smoke the cigs and like butter on your crackers?
