food portions for people using diabetic meal planning. 1 drop = negligible calories. 10 drops are equivalent to 1 serving of fruit in terms of calories.
On blood sugar spikes, the sugar intake is the same, it just keeps stable and the glucose is used up for longer, which allows time for the body to process it better. Which, yes, is mostly the concern when it comes to diabetes. But generally speaking, different fruits have widely different amounts of fructose, and the more water and fiber, the less caloric and prone to cause your blood sugar to spike. It doesn't necessarily mean they have negligible calories though, if that's a concern for the person. The more water they have, the least calories (also most fibers are not digested so they don't count for caloric intake or carbohydrates either)
Oh. No, it's more like 1 drop 0.1, 10 drops 1. Eating 1/10 of fruit is not harmful for a diabetic (in general, depending on the fruit and diabetic person), hence why is not accounted for. They fail to provide safe thresholds between though, because I'm pretty sure 9 would already warrant something
For diabetics. There is a system where you can swap/exchange foods for other foods based on their blood sugar impact.
Ten cough drops have the same blood sugar impact as one serving of fruit. Just one cough drop is small enough to be ignored and so is a "free exchange"
Honestly, even that is unlikely. Not enough moisture. Chances are there is nothing biological that could have grown on it. Really the only "issue" is oxidation causing it to taste "stale" and losing effectiveness. If it was a hard lozenge, it might absorb some moisture from the air and become gooey.
MIL doesnt think sticks of butter go bad. Yes the butter tastes rancid. Shes also told me “ive never had food poisoning in my life.” I refuse to eat anything with butter in it at their house because i know ill just be violently evacuating my intestines shortly after.
Also noted that they never bat an eye at the fact the refrigerator is maintaining a steady 50°.
I live in Saudi, we actually don't have any products that contain alcohol in them, so no it was not (yes it was a vanilla extract, forgot to add that in my original comment)
Isopropyl alcohol is different from Ethyl alcohol, we technically do have products that contains alcohol in them but they're not made for human consumption
My mom does shit like this, she bought expired Nespresso pods from a neighbor for cheap that had been expired for 2 years and gave me some - I checked the expiration immediately and tossed them. I couldn’t do it, plus they came from a household I didn’t know. Double no for me. I know expiration dates don’t always mean anything but I’ve got ptsd from expired dressing, eggs, meats, etc that I found in the fridge that my parents told me was still good to eat that obviously smelled off. I’d rather throw it away than risk getting sick.
i’ve got a family friend with a little kitchenette in her basement filled to the brim with every snack and beverage you could ask for. it always looks so incredibly appealing until i look at some of the expiry dates. one was a juice box from 2014 🥀 i almost feel like i’d find these cough drops down there
My mom had ketchup in her refrigerator that was eight years old. We discovered it when my daughter grabbed it for her daughter’s chicken nuggets. Poor baby didn’t get the ketchup that was older than she was.
A grandson approaches his grandmother and says, "Grandma, at school they teach us to tell only the truth, so I decided to confess to you. Last year I ate a jar of jam, and so you wouldn't notice, I took a crap in it..." The grandfather suddenly jumps up from his chair, hits the grandmother on the head, and yells, "I told you it was shit, but you turned it into candied crap, turned it into candied crap...
i would like to know what 10 drops = 1 fruit means
food portions for people using diabetic meal planning. 1 drop = negligible calories. 10 drops are equivalent to 1 serving of fruit in terms of calories.
*carbohydrates
Also, 1 Drop literally means 1 Cough Drop.
Great math :D
10 x 0 = 1
Do you mean that fruit = 0 calories?
High fibre fruit can have a pretty negligible effect on blood sugar
On blood sugar spikes, the sugar intake is the same, it just keeps stable and the glucose is used up for longer, which allows time for the body to process it better. Which, yes, is mostly the concern when it comes to diabetes. But generally speaking, different fruits have widely different amounts of fructose, and the more water and fiber, the less caloric and prone to cause your blood sugar to spike. It doesn't necessarily mean they have negligible calories though, if that's a concern for the person. The more water they have, the least calories (also most fibers are not digested so they don't count for caloric intake or carbohydrates either)
No, please follow the lesson.
one drop = zero
ten drops = one.
Oh. No, it's more like 1 drop 0.1, 10 drops 1. Eating 1/10 of fruit is not harmful for a diabetic (in general, depending on the fruit and diabetic person), hence why is not accounted for. They fail to provide safe thresholds between though, because I'm pretty sure 9 would already warrant something

The plague that’s been going around has me on about 2 fruit exchanges per day.
Or one drop = free exchange?
I just stared at this label for entirely too long myself...
That’s nothing. Just getting fermented! Let sit for 10 more years. Then they will be ready for anything
Honestly, even that is unlikely. Not enough moisture. Chances are there is nothing biological that could have grown on it.

My parents did the same.
There was some scary old packaged food in the pantry, but their medicine cabinet was 10 times worse. Decades old stuff.
Not at all out of necessity, just the mindset of someone born in the 1930s U.S.
My mother has this notion that mustard doesn’t expire. She says I’m wasting when I buy a new bottle because hers is 1+ years old.

But did your cough go away? 🗣️
Check the date know your grandma's pepper she uses for cooking
I did that once. It had expired before I was born.
My mom had vanilla that expired in 2011, mind you we moved houses 3 times since 2011...
Vanilla extract is essentially vodka. It doesn’t expire.
I'm muslim xD So it was sure not vodka
If it was vanilla paste, maybe not. If it’s extract it 100% is.
I live in Saudi, we actually don't have any products that contain alcohol in them, so no it was not (yes it was a vanilla extract, forgot to add that in my original comment)
I was curious and looked that up. I’ll be, I guess that does exist.
In Canada alcohol free is about twice the price though.
It's like 1.5 usd here for a 30ml bottle, but mainly we have/use powder!
I'm looking at around $11usd for 50ml. I suppose there's higher demand for it in your part of the world. It'll be marketed as a "health product" here.
Guess so🤔
What do you use for washer fluid?
Washer fluid? What's that?
For cars. When the windshield's dirty.
Ohhh I see what you're doing xD
Isopropyl alcohol is different from Ethyl alcohol, we technically do have products that contains alcohol in them but they're not made for human consumption
Just like the economy in 2008, your faith in your mom has now also collapsed.
If it lasted that long, thats still more impressive than most.
If we factor for the average shelf life of these, that means these cough drops are very likely old enough to vote in US elections now.
When you expect throat relief and get existential crisis instead
Oh, my, if I could go back to August 2008!
Were they fuzzy?
No. Oddly grainy in texture, though.
Yeah, cough drops usually have moisture. The moisture will have run out of them and evaporated if left in the sun / crystallised inside.
My grandma gave me cold sore cream from 2009.
Those were gross when they were new.
Bush was still in the office.
I got so distracted my the exchange information that I didn’t see the 2008 for a minute. DAMN.

I imagine she’s a grandma?
Was it still strong enough to calm your cough?
So if your cough was from 2008, they should’ve worked! Oh, it’s 2025. Never mind. I’m beginning to feel like Roseanne Rosanna Danna.

They need to age like fine wine.

Guess when mom give you the cough drops she never looked at the expiration date!
Lol omg! That's so like my mom!
Did they still work? How's your cough?
Meh what's wrong with 18 year old cough drops?
That was the exchange rate of fruit to drops in 2007/8
Jokes on you, i took 1 drop, 10 times for a free exchange
It’s just the menthol. Back then they ground up leftover Kool Kings…
2008???
Also, expired in 2008.
American ingredient lists are so confusing?
Expired in 2008.
What does any of that even mean?

Do cough drops ever really expire?!😅
Commenting on These cough drops my mom gave me that I thought tasted funny...
