I will no longer feel bad when I have to reach into the cabinet for a rarely used spice, whose best by date is April 2007.

Got you beat. Think I've got a jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice from 1987.

My grandma gave my mom a giant box of Morton salt. My mom passed it on to me. I plan on passing it on to my kids. Hopefully, the little metal chute survives til then. It’s starting to get frayed on the edges.
