One always hopes for the best, and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

- Hi, I know I’m calling you a little late, but I just had a test and I just want to make sure I passed.
- Ok, did you test yourself before you went? Or did you use any products?
- Yes, I used a flushing drink, you know, one of those things that you drink right before the test, and it worked for me before, I had passed many tests with it, but the only problem is – I bought that drink a while back, and I think it had expired…
- Oh, I see… I cannot guarantee that expired product will give you the same results that it should. Did you see if the fluid was transparent, or if it was cloudy?
- There might have been. See, my buddy and I bought several bottles together, and I used two a while back, and this one – I didn’t even paid attention to it. But when I started to drink it, I noticed that there was something floating in it, but I already chugged half the bottle at that point so I just kept on drinking. I looked on the bottle afterwards, and there was no expiration date on it.
- Most detox products have a shelf-life of two years. If there were floaters in it, it just might be the flavoring of the drink, like in a juice – you shake it up and it disappears. But if you are not sure how long it has been since you purchased it and you get sick after taking it, then definitely – it has been too long.
- I didn’t get sick or anything, so I guess it was good? Oh well, I guess we gotta wait and see.
- If the detox drink tasted normal, like you expect from it, and not like a pure chemical, then you should be fine. Just next time look for an expiration date before you take it.
- Yeah, I will. Thanks a lot!

When you in a rush and it seems like everything is taken care of, you still need to pay attention to all the little details, just to make sure that nothing can go wrong. Expired product not only can make you fail a test, but also can cause some serious health issues, like any food poisoning with a spoiled or expired product.
