A kitchen is the heart of any home, where members of the family cook up delicious delicacies almost every day. But sometimes, the pantry can turn into a time capsule of expired goodies, thanks to our frugal mothers. Many moms are notorious for their "just-in-case" approach to food storage, due to which some pantries seem to become a graveyard of past-its-prime products.
Now, a video has gone viral that shows a daughter's hilarious takedown of her mom's expired pantry stash. The clip, shared on Instagram, starts with the woman opening the refrigerator at her mom's house. As she begins cleaning out the fridge, she finds several bottles and jars of expired products.
When she calls out her mother for her stingy behaviour, the mom remains unfazed and claims the products are still good to use. Meanwhile, the woman's dad seems perplexed about having consumed expired food all this time. They find jars upon jars of ketchup, mustard, various sauces, pickles and more – all expired.

"This is 100% accurate of my mom," remarked a viewer.
An individual shared, "Love this! When my parents moved out of their house, there were cans that were so old they had liquefied."
