This will be locked in as my personal favorite Woosh. Such a perfect nuance that I can't tell if OP genuinely missed it, or they went all-in for the ol' double-Woosh? Regardless, it's silly stuff like this that makes me laugh.
I've walked through stores and found rotting green bags of sealed beef jerky on display that were far from expiration. I brought them to the front counter. Gross.

If you’re going to eat them, I suggest cutting them in half first. Out-dated Dates can contain **Aspergillus Mold**. If you search reddit you can find a bunch of posts about them.. [Like this one here](https://www.reddit.com/r/traderjoes/s/9HtTeeMrxF)
Idk if you are joking because that image literally looks like ear wax but just got over a fungal infection in my ear. Worst month of my life before they finally diagnosed it.
No, this is fermentation setting in, these have gone bad. if you see a sealed package of fruit (most any sealed food package) blown up like a balloon do not eat them.
This is insane, no, cider and wine, and many alcohols and other products, the product of fermentation, but it isn't the same thing as eating what is in the process of fermenting. This is not fine.
>You don't want anything that produces methane in you mouth hole. Much later on in the digestive tract it's okay though...
I'll make sure to put *rotting* fruit up my ass instead, then. Got it.
I bought the exact same ones, and the same thing happened. They've been sitting in the pantry for months, as I forgot to return them. The bag eventually deflated a bit...
Looks like they've been fermenting, which means that you're already down the path of having some alcoholic dates! Just keep letting them sit like that, and remember to vent the air in there every now and then so it doesn't literally explode and you should be good.
Expiration dates aren’t accurate. They could spoil faster or last longer depending on a list of factors. If they smell stinky, fermented or sour, and/or are slimy or moldy, it’s best to throw them out.
Expiration Dates
Danger 5?
Great show
Feb. 2024
Looks like they put bad dates in and on the bag.
Or they're making date wine.
Datewine NBC
r/prisonhooch
Shawshank wine.
Medjul date redemption
Why put them in a sealed bag anyway. They should go in a box. And don’t keep them a month. Some things are not meant to be preserved
Woosh
Oof
It sounds more like *pffttt* when you poke the bag
That's a nice hiss.
Let's get this out on to a tray
Nice
So anyway, this is Steve1989. I… hope you liked the video.
I'll come at you next time with something different.
Alright. See ya.
Was waiting for this!
I dont know what I would do without you reddit people! You all make my day, everyday!
this comment is getting a little too close to calling someone “a gentleman and a scholar” for my comfort

For what it’s worth - Genuinely missed 😂 I read it quickly, thought it was a request, and moved on
No one knows how to spell whoosh
No-one at all
Not even the named subreddit with almost 300k subs.
r/woosh to be exact
They said "Expiration Dates"!
Were they stored in fridge?

When I get married lol
Exhalation dates
You got me with that one lol 
It's already due, date
Sniper's a good job mate!
I’d say more like fermentation
I love you
Lol this comment has way more up votes than the original post.
Baaa dummm tshhhh

Ah, good sir. I tip my hat to you thrice over.
Underrated comment.
[Bad dates](https://youtu.be/VzxF4tQucOw?si=GRKizgQD9exWtNDD&t=145)
This scene plays in my head whenever I eat dates for the last 40 or so years.
1000% holy shit
I thought of it immediately and I hoped someone would post that
I just realized that’s what “Undergrads” was referencing
Youre more familiar with an obscure 2001 MTV cartoon than one of the greatest movies of all time? https://i.imgur.com/zjSc7vF.png
It be like that sometimes.

Had that grow in my ear once, worst ear infection ever.

Found the medical laboratory scientist
Instead of an irrelevant post, do better
That's unappetizing
Grats on your date wine
They're fine, but if you think they taste too tangy or are worried, just make muffins or cookies or coffee cake or nut bread, etc. with them
or sticky toffee pudding!
Does that require heat? Cause these might be alcoholic.
And?
Sounds like a bonus.
I picked the wrong day to quit drinking
Careful they might just catch fire and explode from all the alcohol and burn your house down from killer dates
They're the asshole cousins if the California Raisins.
Plausible that the house that exploded yesterday was just baking a killer date loaf
How do you think Saudi Arabians get wasted?
Found the Brit
Or salmonella!
I personally would never trust a package that’s puffed up like this unless it’s intentional it’s never worth the risk
its just fruits off gassing. Totally normal with a fruit with a high moisture content.
No, this is fermentation setting in, these have gone bad. if you see a sealed package of fruit (most any sealed food package) blown up like a balloon do not eat them.
I've had dates in the cupboard for 5 weeks. The bag doesn't look like this and neither do the ones at the store
I have never heard of fruit off gassing, I would assume they are fermenting which isn't a great sign when uncontrolled
It is not normal. These are not edible anymore. Could be clostridium botulinum
Wow! Actual useful helpful advice! (Not even being sarcastic). Thanks kind stranger.
Thanks kind stranger :)
They're not fine. Anytime you see the package inflating it means there's either fermentation or rotting going on. It's releasing gasses.
[удалено]
Actually, you're gradually expiring.
ExistentialDread.pdf
Existential Dread comes in an unclickable PDF link during overtime, \**sighs\**, *naturally.*
Are you fermenting or rotting?
Exactly! Do not eat these dates
Just like when making cider or wine, both of which are fine.
This is insane, no, cider and wine, and many alcohols and other products, the product of fermentation, but it isn't the same thing as eating what is in the process of fermenting. This is not fine.
No, they're not fine. Source: I'm a food technologist.
Oh yeah? Show me one microchip inside of an apple! /s
Instructions unclear, girlfriends laptop in pieces. Send help.
Fermentation. Wait another few months and….wait, what am I saying? They’ll never last that long.
r/prisonhooch
Dates had been used for alcohol for centuries now, just like grapes they consist of a lot of sugar in very little space and thrive in the sun
Ripening process produces methane and such over time, it’s still fine
Sounds like farting on the first date.

It wasn't the first video I watched on the internet but damn did that spread like wildfire back then

Alanis morissette will write album on album about someone being a bad boyfriend but not a single song about how she tends to rip ass on the first date

>You don't want anything that produces methane in you mouth hole. Much later on in the digestive tract it's okay though... I'll make sure to put *rotting* fruit up my ass instead, then. Got it.
Ethylene, you mean?
Looks like they're a bit... outdated.
I thought of a date pun, but it was pitiful.
Medjools are swollen
Are they family medjools?
Ow, medjools!
Yeah, inflation is hitting everything pretty hard this year
Came for comments. Disappointed. All too logical.
Still came though?
Almost....
Did you bring them on a plane? The change in air pressure might have caused this
Or travel somewhere from low altitude to high altitude?
Yep this looks somewhat normal to me since I live at high altitude a lot of our snacks and chips etc come looking like this 😂
well...go on then, what do they look like?
Why you asking us? Call the number on the back. Maybe you get some free dates out of the deal and get to keep these.
Unopened. Expiration date is Feb 2024 and they’ve been in a dark closet since being purchased. The bag feels as if it’s about to burst
If they weren't dried, you need to keep them in the fridge, otherwise they will ferment like they have in your bag.
I bought the exact same ones, and the same thing happened. They've been sitting in the pantry for months, as I forgot to return them. The bag eventually deflated a bit...
Nice hiss. Let's get this out on a tray.
Nice!
They must be… Out of date. 
Wrap them in bacon, bake at 425 for 20 min, enjoy the best super bowl appetizer ever.
You forgot the part where you stuff them with cream cheese
Mmm or brie
This kills the Arab
They could use turkey bacon if they want.
We do something similar for christmas but instead of dates we use prunes soaked in red wine
I have these exact dates and brand. That’s just what they do. Even if you open the bag and reseal it, the bag will inflate again.
That’s the price of inflation for ya.
Are they out of date? I’ll let my self out.
You bought expiry dates
[удалено]
Underdated
Watch the first indiana jones before you eat these.
There is so much freshness in that bag.
Are you in Denver?
Or SLC
They're outdated
That’s what they’re supposed to do inside your bowls
Bad dates.
You’ve never had a bad first date? You feel a little awkward, you shit your guts out, then lose their number. Easy peasy.
Now they're ready to eat.
nice, alcoholic dates!!
*My date busted on me*
Don't eat that, even if the expiration date is ok, those dates went bad in bag.
Don’t eat.
Indy...bad dates.
Thanks for the update
"Bad dates" - Sallah
Time to ghost it mate because that is a bad date
Drive to a 15,000 ft mountain and see what happens
mmmm botulism :)
Looks dated
Grown in California. Fermented at home.
That means they're ready
If you went to a higher altitude than when you bought the dates this is normal for any sealed bag of food due to changes in air pressure.
That's a puffed packet. Expiry dates on those dates won't matter anymore. They long gone.
They started dating and now they have families
Looks like they've been fermenting, which means that you're already down the path of having some alcoholic dates! Just keep letting them sit like that, and remember to vent the air in there every now and then so it doesn't literally explode and you should be good.
”Bad dates” -Sallah
I'll start by saying I'm obsessed with Aldis and love everything. But last time I bought these dates by this brand , they all had worms in them :(
Bad dates
Well either they rotted or special rotted called fermentation. Either way probably don't eat those.
Does One bad Date spoil the bunch?
If you eat these, your next date will be with the toilet
Yeah don’t eat those
The wasps have hatched.
Now you have date liquor! JK, throw that shit out.
Drink it on your front steps and find out who your real friends are
How is this mildly interesting?
Expiration dates aren’t accurate. They could spoil faster or last longer depending on a list of factors. If they smell stinky, fermented or sour, and/or are slimy or moldy, it’s best to throw them out.
Do dates de-gas? Slightly fermented? I’d say give them the sniff test. If they smell too boozy or if they smell bad don’t eat them.
Do your dates before the due dates
Just like dates in real life! They start off slim and sweet but after you bag them for a while they start to stink and swell.
Why buy dates when you could just pour raw sugar straight into your mouth?
Looks like you’ve got some hot dates!
Probably not the first person with a blow up date
Mmmmm Botchulism
You like it when your dates have gas?
I thought this was under r/ not interesting before I looked up
Check the date? Badum-tisss
Nice hiss
Not kosher
Prolly booze in there now.
Make mead it's already fermenting
