    Some tourists in the Museum of Natural History are marveling at some dinosaur bones. One of them asks the guard, "Can you tell me how old the dinosaur bones are?"

    The guard replies, "They are 65,000,011 years old."

    "That's an awfully exact number," says the tourist. "How do you know their age so precisely?"

    The guard answers, "Well, the dinosaur bones were sixty five million years old when I started working here, and that was eleven years ago."

    Well, I understand that with some years in an plastic bowl, the salt may absorb some substances and microplastics. But about Honey, what comes in glass jars? There they also put an expiration date, even though still edible honey has been found in several thousand years old Egyptian tombs.

      The expiration date - unless it's a different legal definition where you are from - is not really about being edible, but just signifies the guarantee the producer gives, basically "up until this date we will guarantee this product will maintain the expected quality". In this case, I think it will be them not guaranteeing that the salt won't have drawn water from the air and clumped up or something like that.
