And it was on sale, so I also bought some Cherry Chocolate Chip. <\/p>\n<p>When I got home and helped myself to my treat, the ice-cream was bad and I dumped out the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>The Cocoa flavor was just freezer burned. Not very tasty, but not evil. The Cherry on the other hand was downright FOUL.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I wanted to either take them back to the store or write to Edy&#8217;s, so I kept the containers.<\/p>\n<p>Edy&#8217;s feedback form asks for expiration date and UPC code, so I jotted it down. That&#8217;s when I noticed the Expiration Dates. The Cocoa wasn&#8217;t expired yet (4\/25). But the Cherry had, last year &#8212; 7\/22\/09. Almost 8 months past due!! <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t just expired, it was beyond expiration to the point that it could have been dangerous to eat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aaron says he&#8217;s returning the expired treat to the store tonight and will let us know how things turn out.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"expired-edys.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/consumerist.com\/expired-edys.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"633\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Consumerist reader Aaron went to his local Acme supermarket outside of Philadelphia to pick up some yummy, delicious, Edy&#8217;s ice cream.
