There's all kinds ways to be the "minimum wage". Paperboy, for instance.
Although that's a defunct job now. When I got back home after my cruise
with Uncle Sugar's Yacht Club my first gig was a min wage (80c/hr) deal
in a fats food start-up called "The Broiler". Since I was older than their
more usual high school hires I soon got moved into management and given
a salary. Which sounded good at the time. Then I did the math and found
that I was actually getting less per hour then the 80c minimum wage paid
to hourly employees.

"Expiration" dates, as I have noted before are usually "best by" dates.
And are, for the most part arbitrary and set by guesswork. If it's in a
sealed container and the packaging is not bulged or otherwise deformed
it's OK to consume.
BC> I seem to recall you like popcorn. Here's a recipe for Taco Popcorn.
I've made something like this - less the Fritoes - a coupoe times. I'm
not doing popcorn as much these days. If you've ever had a popcorn hull
get between your falsies and gums you'll understand why. Bv)=
