The oldest food item that was found in the cupboard?

[SierraCook]

I just reached up in the cupboard to get the coffee ready for the morning and found a box of cereal dated August of 2002. What is the oldest food item that you have ever found in your kitchen cupboards and what was it?

there's some really old rice flour in the fridge, and i found a container of vanilla quik clumped all together a few days ago. i think there is some caviar in the fridge, and a tube of anchovy paste, if i'm not mistaken...
thanks for the reminder... :)

I have some dry lasagna noodles in a ziploc bag that are starting to look pretty tired. Also a small jar of chili powder from a local grocery store that went out of business at least 5 years ago.

I have a box of Easy Mac from when I used to live in a dorm room with nothing but a microwave... It's gotta be 2 years old at least.

I have a box of phylo dough in my freezer that has moved with me 3 times already. It must be 4 years old. My wife just asked if we still have it and if we can get rid of it.

2002? that is bad! I have a can of mixed vegies that has been sitting there over a year. I don't know why I bought it, because it has lima beans... I think I should prolly throw it out!
