136 Nutrisystem’s “Food” Products. Some are
expired. SOLD
For Sale: a total of 136 Nutrisystem’s “food”
products. The expiration dates range from October 2007, January 2008
to June 2008.
My rotund former roommate bought this to help
herself lose weight… And she did eat some of it… along with potato chips
and ice cream. When it became clear she wasn’t really going to do
the Nutrisystem diet, we boxed it up and put it in the garage as
earthquake/emergency food.
Well fast forward a couple of years, she moves and
leaves all that yummy Nutrisystem food. And now it’s time for me to
move and I don’t want it.
Who would want expired Nutrisystem food, even
if it’s a good deal? You may ask.
I can think of at least three groups of people who
would want this:
- People successfully
living the Nutrisystem diet or people wanting to successfully
live the Nutrisystem diet.
- Earthquake, Tornado,
Tsunami, Hurricane, Snowed In, Flood, Locust or Other Pestilence
Emergency Food.
- Veterans wanting to
relive the MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) experience.
But, some of it is expired.
You say - with a bit of a whiny tone.
Look, if you’re familiar with Nutrisystem “food”
you know this stuff is packaged to survive a nuclear attack. I can’t
imagine anything in this stuff would/could go bad before your
grandchildren finish college. I tried a bag of Soy Cheddar Chips
and I didn’t taste anything that I thought would go bad before the
Pyramids were dust.
I have lovingly (and neurotically) sorted it all.
Here what you get:
- 23
“Cup-A-Soup” type containers including: Macaroni w/ Cheese; Tex-Mex
Rice and Beans; Hearty Minestrone Soup; Scrambled Eggs; Pasta
Parmesan; Spice Oriental Noodles and other tasty treats!
- 27 - 7.5 oz
microwaveable containers including: Hearty Beef Stew; Chicken Ala
King; Tomato and Corn Chowder; Vegetable Beef Soup; Chicken and
Pasta in Cacciatore Sauce; Chicken Noodle Soup; and Beans and Ham
Soup (Vegetarians Note: some have “meat” in them or at least in
their title.)
- 14 Main
Courses with such tantalizing dishes as Mushroom Gravy over
Salisbury Steak; Beef Stroganoff; Green Pepper Steak with Rice; and
BBQ Sauce over Beef, Beans and Rice.
- 36
Protein/Candy bars. Here’s a few of what you get: Chocolate Cookie
Bar; Almond Biscotti; Chocolate Chip Naturally & Artificially
Flavored Granola Bar; Chocolate Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut
Biscotti; Cranberry Flavored Granola Bar; Fudge Graham Bar; and
Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Bar. (Note: Most are deformed from
being in an un-insulated garage for the last few years.)
- 4 Cereal
bags: (3) NutriFrosted Crunch and (1) NutriCinnamon Squares
- 3 - 1 oz Soy
Chip Bags one each of: White Cheddar; Sour Cream and Onion; and
Apple Cinnamon.
- 4 – 3 oz
envelopes 2 each of Tuna Salad and Chicken Salad (just like those
scary ones you can get in the market.)
- 16 - 1.2 oz
Drink Envelopes including: Chocolate Shake, Vanilla Drink and Orange
Crème Drink. (Note to lovers of Orange Crème Drink: there is only
one of those.)
- 3 packs of
Poppy Seed Muffins (2 “muffins” per package!).
- 6 packs of
Whole Wheat Melba Toast. (Note: most are pretty broken up.)
If you are still hung up on the “expired” thing,
let me put it to you this way -- I’ve had “Lasagna” in a box in my
garage for the last few years exposed to the summers and winters of the
San Fernando Valley; and if I read the box correctly, this was “good”
until a few days ago (expired Jan 08). Do you really think 2, 3, 5 or
20 years is really going to make a difference? Besides, many of the
items have no expiration date at all -- which must mean they’re
good forever!
(Note: display
shelving unit NOT included; but I have some Tums I would throw in upon
request.)
