Something from the back of the fridge for the line eater.

Well, cough, cough, I found a two-months-past-the-expiration-date
container of regular Yoplait at the back of my refrigerator awhile back,
and it too smelled okay and I ate it with no ill effects.  It had gotten
quite a bit thicker than Yoplait's normal consistency.  Which leads me to
wonder what the expiration date means.
