The yoghurt was expiring in 40 years!
I had never liked yoghurt so much until I got to Thailand. Sometimes I could eat 2 bottles at one sitting. Out of curiosity I read the labels and everything written in the bottle. To my amazement the expiry date said 10/44. I couldn’t believe what I had just read. How could a yoghurt last for that long? It was 2001 and it means the yoghurt was going to expire in more than 40 years!
I got everyone’s attention and told them about the expiration date which I personally thought ludicrous or rubbish. Anyway, I opened my mouth to reveal my ignorance. In Thailand the year starts with the birth of Buddha which was 543 years before Jesus Christ. So in 2001 the Thai year was 2544.
