What's the shelf life of one of Bapu's posts?

And should they each have a "best consumed by" label?

Could we cure your posts (like becan) to make them last longer?

Maybe adding salt or sugar or smoking could help?

OK.

And on second thought, becan doesn't really last long anyway!

My posts are nitrate free.  There's very little glutton gluten, too

Not sure if "shelf life" is the correct measurement, perhaps using the term "half-life" is closer?
They're (Am) Radio-active!

Indeed!

Bapu's posts live in RAM, for faster access.
So it depends on how much RAM you have.

That's why RAM is everything. 

Parson said it, but even more importantly, BAPU demonstrates it w/ each of his posts.

Ja

Best consumed by fire I think.

A Bapu Fred however is another matter.

Bapu freds serve an important function to the Coffee House.

They ensure that no worthwhile fred can descend into serious conversation before being swept of the front page.

For that I'm grateful.

(or Am oui?)

Maybe they're there to make the other Freds look better?  Afterall, nothing can be a good fred if there aren't others to look bad in comparison

Zackly!

And like I say his Freds stimulate the regular 'movement' of the Coffee Haus too....

We need Bapu to stop us getting all 'bound up'...

Bapus fred = The fibre of the Coffee House 


Does this mean I can find Bapu Freds in bran flakes?

It only proves... that the Bapu is eternal.

Arrrggghhhhhhh - I've been given a Bapunema

You did look a little flushed...

“Best Consumed By”, “Expiration Dates” and “Freshness Dates” (affectionately referred to as expirer-ee dates in the biz) are serious business in the food, consumer healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.  They normally require that some standard (or definition) has to be meet for a particular attribute of the product, ingredient concentration or efficacy of a particular active ingredient.

In my experience wrt expiration dates, the testing usually involves some sort of accelerated aging process that includes storage in a stability oven that subjects the sample to an elevated temperature and humidity.  Testing at certain time intervals would then be performed and the results at different storage temperatures (e.g., 20, 40 and 60 degrees C) would be compared to each other and known standards.

There is an FDA monograph detailing test methods for given products and ingredients.  The tests for stability, efficacy, freshness, etc. may include chemical / biological testing for active ingredient concentration and efficacy, physical test methods that challenge the products mechanical stability and biological testing to show that the added antimicrobial agents are suppressing microbe growth.

So, in the absence of a specific FDA monograph entry for a bapu post count, if an expiration date needs to be established for the effectiveness of a bapu post count, a panel of post count experts will need to assemble, gather information and suggest a battery of tests based on their information.  Approval of what actually defines a bapu post count, its efficacy and how to establish said efficacy is ultimately made at the congressional level.
