out of date products

[bailes1994]

i bought a meal from kfc including a bottle of pepsi, the bottle was dated for 2005, am i liable to sew ?

[squarebear]

Why not just take it back and swap it. Are you American by any chance?

[Ann]

Depends how good you are at needlework bailes :)

[sherrardk]

Have you got any needle and thread?

[Ann]

Newbie or what?

[mrs_overall]

What exactly do you want to sew? A nice dress perhaps...or maybe some new cushions?

As regards the Pepsi, I'd take it back for a refund and some compo. I dont think you can sue them

[Zacs-Master]

Yes of course. I sewed and got £1 million and I want even liable!

[RATTER15]

Sew their asses off! and claim all that compensation for all your suffering. Just a minute, just how much suffering was involved here? what do you actually need compensating for?

bottles dont go out of date.....you're lucky it wasnt the pepsi

[Maydup]

Write to head office and you will probably receive a voucher for a few free bottles, but only sue if you can prove that the chicken was actually rat.

[missprim]

It just depends. Could you sew before?
I've never heard of anyone who was liable to sew after drinking Pepsi.

[madmaggot]

I doubt they'll allow you to sit in there and sew unless you buy another bottle of pepsi; they've got a living to make you know.

[mandimoo]

how long ago was this?

[boxtops]

good point mandi, bailes might have bought it in 2005!

[Buenchico]

If we ignore your misspelling of 'sue', the answer to your question is still 'No'.

The date on a bottle of Pepsi is only a 'best before' date (and not 'use by'), so it's perfectly legal to sell it. However, since your contract with the KFC franchisee was obviously based upon the assumption that you'd get an 'in date' bottle, you have the right to a refund of what you paid for the bottle (but no more).

If you come to my house you are liable to sew as I have got many clothes which need stiching.

I would advise you to go back to the branch you got this from along with the receipt if you have it. The branch manager will be only too happy to give you free meals or vouchers for food in the future to keep you quiet. I know this in the case with supermarkets so should be the same for KFC.

Sorry I have to stop laughing, I am getting a stitch in my side.

[smurfchops]

DT that was a bit tacky. I'm knitting my brows to think of an answer now ...

[boxtops]

Bailes hasn't come back, I hope he's OK!

Possibly doing something through the eye of a needle?
