Some newly purchased products need to be used up quickly.
But the fact that a food is sold with a decades-old best-before date makes one suspicious.
Munich – You can do a lot with butter.
It can be smeared on bread, rolls or toast as a base for jam, jam, sausage, cheese or even Nutella - even if the experts disagree here.
It is a good choice for baking biscuits, cakes or other pastries.
It is also ideal as an addition to roasts, for example with fish or breaded food - even if margarine is recommended here.
It is also useful in cooking and grilling, such as for hollandaise sauce.
In short: butter is a real all-purpose weapon in the kitchen.
Edeka customer is puzzled by the expiration date: butter is said to have expired in December 2002
What exactly the second protagonist of our text planned with the animal product is not known.
And rather irrelevant.
Because he spoke up on Twitter before the butter was used.
Because when looking at the packaging from Edeka, the customer was taken aback.
Because of the best-before date, which no one in the world could live up to.
According to the photographic evidence, December 5, 2002 was printed in the white box.
Which then feeds some doubts.
Because in order to have experienced this date and still be so well preserved, the butter would have to have developed superpowers.
Or, like a cat, literally have several lives.
Maybe they come from the Grimm fairy tale "Tischlein, deck' dich!" and renew themselves over and over again.

Edeka butter from 2002: "Yikes, which time capsule did it fall from?"
However, the said user and owner of the butter clearly assumes that he is dealing with a commercially available specimen that smells and looks like butter and hopefully tastes like it.
He therefore tweeted to Edeka's address: "Great, the expiry date.
Bought butter last week and just checked the 'minimum' use-by date when putting it in the butter dish."

He couldn't have believed his eyes.
And regret not having checked in the branch by when the butter should be plastered.
However, it is probably a case of human error, because employees are still responsible for printing the best-before date.
The reaction in the comments also suggests that the author doesn't take the matter too seriously, because it says: "Oops, which time capsule did that fall out of?"
The humorless answer of the butter owner was: "I don't even know if the 2002 variety was already in the packaging." Which in turn would be another indication that he should be given at least a zero for a two here.
Was the butter used anyway?
If it had also tasted excellent, everything would be fine.
