Nothin’ older than six years, since that’s when I moved in.

But I think my Aunt Zelda (died sometime in the mid 1990s) is still in my family’s freezer, since they didn’t have the money to bury her. OK, just kidding

It’s so old I’m afraid to drink it.

I have a large aerosol bottle of Evian that I think I bought in like 1994 in the back of the icebox. It’s probably still good, but I don’t spray my face too much so there it sits. Every time I happen to see it I think, I should really spray myself because that’s what I bought it for, but then I’m like, I don’t feel like getting it out, taking off the lid and spraying my face.

I also have a mini bottle that I got to carry in my purse about four years ago, but I never use that either. It’s in one of my handbags somewhere. I’m just not into spraying my face.
