Hey lads,
So I understood that creams like TOBS can expire and go .. less good/bad after a few years.
This is completely reasonable and what not, but HOW do I see when my TOBS was made?
I for example bought my TOBS in a... let's call it shady shop where I wouldn't trust that much of what they told me. The thing is, you could open all jars and smell them etc... before buying, GREAT of course. But, wouldn't that mean they start 'expiring' the minute you open the jar?
Also, my TOBS is the ONLY cream/soap I have where there is NO date mentioned on the package, not even a bar code. So how do they and we keep track of the whole expiring thing (takes me a very long time to finish a cream, I'm talking easily two years...)?
My other soaps and creams all had a hermetic seal on them, so you obviously could not open them in the store, you could buy them and once you opened them they were yours.
So, please tell me. Not because I have a problem with TOBS, but because my girlfriend says it is legally obliged to have that date on at least the packaging, so perhaps I was sold a tube without the actual packaging, dunno?
Thanks
