- 7:09Speaker 1: there's some wiggle room.
- 7:11Speaker 2: You know, it's actually a good point. I pulled a
- 7:14Speaker 2: sauce out the fridge the other day. And I looked,
- 7:17Speaker 2: I haven't used the sauce for a long time. It
- 7:19Speaker 2: expired in 2021. Whoa. And I thought, it's probably still good.
